Question

appealing to ethos
quote 1: should i keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, i should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which i revere above all earthly kings.
quote 2: this is no time for ceremony. the question before the house is one of awful moment to this country.
—patrick henry, speech in the convention of delegates of virginia
which of these quotes is an appeal to
ethos?
○ quote 1
○ quote 2

Explanation:

Ethos is an appeal to ethics, focusing on the speaker's credibility or moral stance. Quote 1 shows Patrick Henry's moral commitment (guilt of treason, disloyalty to Heaven), establishing his ethical position. Quote 2 is about the urgency of the situation (logos or pathos - related to the moment's gravity, not ethics). So Quote 1 appeals to ethos.
