Part 2

 Context 
  1. The speaker was Barbara Jordan
  2. Jackson's purpose was to convince the Judiciary Committee to impeach President Nixon. He mentions his opinions at the time Nixon was under investigation for the Water Gate Scandal.
  3. Jackson makes it clear that the speech was not just a one and one speech but rather a speech to be televised to the entire nation.

  4. Jackson informs us that Nixon is republican while most of the Senate was Democrat.
  5. The audience was the House Judiciary Committee  
Text
  1. Ethos - Faith in the Constitution was misused from Nixon in order to defend himself from breaking the rules
  2. Pathos -Jackson used the paper shredder to show that what Nixon did was wrong and unjust to the Constitution
  3. Logos - The only logic i noticed was that Jackson used citations including quoting people but im still shaky on logos so please help
My Context
  1. Barbara Jordan seems to have know quite a bit about the constitution which makes her more a threat to Nixon.
My Text 
  1.  The style of Jackson's writing  formal while keeping personal touches to express his feeling on the topic.
