review the text in bold.\nin these sentiments, sir, i agree to this constitution, with all its faults, if they are such; because i think a general government necessary for us, and there is no form of government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years. i doubt too whether any other convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better constitution. for when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. from such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? it therefore astonishes me, sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does; and i think it will astonish our enemies, who are waiting with confidence to hear that our councils are confounded like those of the builders of babel; and that our states are on the point of separation, only to meet hereafter for the purpose of cutting one anothers throats.\nadapted from benjamin franklin, \on the constitution\\nin the text in bold, what rhetorical strategy does benjamin franklin use?\nhe compares the delegates to their enemies.\nhe appeals to the delegates fear of their enemies.\nhe establishes common enemies.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Franklin mentions that the system's near - perfection will astonish enemies who expect chaos (like Babel's builders). By highlighting the enemies' anticipation of failure (councils confounded, states on the point of separation), he is playing on the delegates' fear of looking weak or failing as a nation in the eyes of these enemies. He is not just comparing delegates to enemies (no direct comparison of their traits) and not just establishing common enemies (the focus is on the enemies' negative expectations and how the system's success will counter that, which relates to fear).

Answer:

He appeals to the delegates' fear of their enemies.
