Martin Luther King Jr and Robert F. Kennedy use rhetorical devices to convey their speeches for the masses as simple and powerful ideas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Often, rhetoric's power rests upon the people getting the simple crux of the larger point that the orator is trying to make.

They have to be careful of making a poignant point and not a simplistic or naive one but at the same time they must also take heed.

Their audience comes from everywhere and they must be riled with a clear consignee summary or a peak into the statement they want to convey to the world.

This is done by the two leaders as they use Repetition of key phrases like 'I have a dream' by Martin Luther King Junior or Parallelism in comparison of black people with the Moses of Exodus.
