Which retorical appeal is being used in the following example “you don’t need to jump in front of a train to know it’s a bad idea so why do you need to try drugs to know if they are damaging

Dr. King's main conception is the law is again being inequitable. Dr. King in paragraph 4 tells why he got apprehended and how the law is being inequitable,  " Now there is nothing wrong with an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade, but when the ordinance is used to preserve segregation and to deny citizens the First Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and peaceful protest, then it becomes unjust."

In paragraph 6 Dr. King utilizes what Hitler did in Germany and shows how even back in that time it was inequitable. " It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany."   When he tells us that, it shows how racist and inequitable those times were.

I had this question.

Let me know if this helped :0
