Ideas: What evidence does Anthony use to support her claim that she committed no crime when she voted?

Logos is a technique which utilises facts, statistics and analogies to support arguments as evidence. Anthony’s speeches exhibit logos, as they are structured in a logical sequence of claims, supported with evidence from the most authoritative source on American citizenship: the United States Constitution.

Anthony questions her audience frequently (example cited above), particularly on the nature of women as “citizens” and “persons”. This terminology was used in the language of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution, legislation which failed to enfranchise women with the vote. Her speech explicitly tests the meaning of these words to illustrate the legitimacy of her vote.

Her argument rests on four essential facts:

The preamble of the U.S. Constitution refers to “We, the people of the United States,” and not “…we, the white male citizens, not yet we, the male citizens.”

There is no clause explicitly declaring that the terms “people” or “persons” are sex-specific.

If women are persons, then “women are citizens.”

This means women are “entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the free citizens of the several States.”

the choice that is not a technique that you should use to come up with ideas for the topic of a research project is, writing about academic subjects that are not interesting to you. this does not belong to the techniques to come up with ideas because having no interest in a certain topic will lose your drive to come up with better ideas. it gives no room for improvement and acquiring of new ideas and information. 

explanation:

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
