Answer 1

The rhetorical techniques demonstrated in this passage are:

1. Rhetorical conditional - The passage includes a conditional statement suggesting that if the impeachment provision in the Constitution does not reach the offenses charged, then the Constitution itself should be abandoned. This technique is used to assert the urgency and seriousness of the situation.

2. Anaphora - The repetition of the phrase "the impeachment provision in the Constitution of the United States will not reach" at the beginning of the sentence emphasizes the central point of the argument and creates a rhythmic effect.
