Which rhetorical strategy does Susan B. Anthony rely on the most to develop the argument that she did not break the law by voting? A. Pathos

B. Rhetorical Questioning

C. Ethos

D. Logos

D. Logos

Explanation:

Logos is a rhetorical strategy that mostly applies logical reasoning and proofs to develop an argument. Susan B. Anthony was popular in 1872 for her role in exercising her voting rights in the United States elections. According to her, she did this to test the principles stated in the constitution which made it legal for women to vote and to give her voice to the Women's suffrage movement. Susan developed her point by citing strong proofs from the constitution to highlight the fact that she had done nothing wrong by voting.

For example in applying logos, she cited the first paragraph of the Declaration which explains that if any form of government should engage in any acts that would negatively affect the safety and happiness of the people being governed, it was their right to abolish such government and to institute a new one. She then explained that it would be impossible for the people to change such a government when they are not allowed to vote.
