Question

Could someone give me some major differences and similarities between the Declaration of Independence and Patrick Henry's "Speech in the Virginia Convention"? I have to write a paper on this subject and just want to know the major differences and similarities. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You'll be writing a comparison/contrast paper. If you need help with setting one of those up (organization of ideas), go here: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/ and go into the menu for <b>Essay and Research Paper Level</b> and scroll down until you find <b>Comparison/Contrast</b>.

Declaration of Independence:

Patrick Henry's speech:

Please repost when you get your ideas organized, and someone here will be happy to critique your thinking. You can also post your rough draft if you want feedback on that, too.
