Answer 1

The technique that is unique to the Bill of Rights is using lists to organize the document. The Bill of Rights presents its amendments in a structured, list-like format, enumerating specific rights and freedoms. In contrast, Wilberforce's speech primarily relies on emotional appeals, figurative language, and addressing issues of injustice without the structured listing approach used in legal documents.
