Read the following excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's speech "On Women's Right to Vote" and think about the persuasive methods Anthony uses.

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.
What two types of persuasive techniques does Anthony use in this excerpt?


A) appeals to reason and appeals to emotion
B)counterarguments and appeals to ethics
C) appeals to reason and counterarguments
D) appeals to reason and appeals to ethics
