The Constitutional Convention

In 1787, Benjamin Franklin gave one of the most memorable persuasive speeches of all time during the constitutional convention. As he spoke. his tone remained calm, logical,  and reasonable and he asked many rhetorical questions to his audience, which were the colonial representatives of all 13 colonies of America. The purpose of his speech was to unify all thirteen colonies of America and have them associate under one central government and to pass the constitution. In order to convince the representatives and grab their attentions, Franklin compares them to instruments, which means that when they return home they need to spread the news. This speech marked the beginning of a united America.
