Relevant evidence: quotations from the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and data showing how many Americans participated in the civil rights movement.
Why: quotations from founding documents establish a legal/constitutional basis for a universal right to vote; participation data shows widespread public support and the practical need for reform. The personal anecdote and statements about America’s uniqueness are rhetorical appeals, not direct evidence.
