And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. in this passage from the declaration of independence, jefferson was employing which persuasive technique? appeal to emotion appeal to authority appeal to ethics appeal to logic

The correct answer is option three.

The Founders offer everything they have to execute the implementation of the Declaration of Independence. They give their lives, their possessions and their inviolable integrity -the last thing they have- in order to make The United States free from Britain. The text displays the Founders' exceptional attributes - they are respectable men of honour.

The correct answer is the second option. Jefferson in this passage appeals to authority by making reference to God, and the power invested in them bu this "divine providence". Another evidence of this appeal can be found in the word "pledge" since it refers to making promises to others, particularly to keep their lives, money and honor.

This reference to authority is particularly appropiate given the context, since the Founding fathers needed to justify their authority, as well as make reference to the power their holded.
