MAKING THE PLEA CHAPTER I CONVICTION 1 Preliminary Statement. -- In the preceding main divisions of this text an attempt has been made: First, under the general title, Beginning Principles, to give the student sufficient theory to enable him to begin intelligently the practice of debate; second, under the general title, Elements of Proof, to give him a thorough understanding of all the elements of proof that must be used in debate; and third, under the general title, Building the Case, to show how these various elements of proof should be assembled into a case. The purpose of the fourth and last main division of the text must be, therefore, to set forth the principles governing the most effective presentation of a case under the general title, Making the Plea. This part of the text will develop: First, the subject of conviction in debate; second, the subject of persuasion in debate; third, the subject of speech-composition in debate; and fourth, the subject of strategy in debate. Importance of Conviction in Debate. -- Conviction is one of the most important processes that must be used in debate; for the only object in debate is to create or destroy belief in a proposition; and this object may be accomplished only by means of the twofold process of conviction and persuasion. 1 For lesson assignments on Conviction, see Appendix A. Definition of Conviction and Persuasion. -- Conviction is a process by which one is made to believe a proposition by seeing and understanding its truth; and persuasion is a process by which one is made to believe a proposition by feeling and appreciating its truth. Conviction is a process that appeals to reason in order to get understanding; and persuasion is a process that appeals to the emotions in...

Book excerpt: From the PREFACE.This book treats of the various ways of convincing and persuading men. While intended as a textbook for schools and colleges, it is also adapted to the needs of the lawyer, the preacher, the teacher, the citizen; in short, to anyone who is called upon-as who is not?-to urge the acceptance of his ideas upon a hearer, or to refute ideas offered in opposition thereto.In our schools and colleges the value of argumentation as an independent branch of study is now generally recognized. But numerous as are the treatises on argumentation, the subject of debate is usually treated in a single chapter, or not at all. This book aims to meet the needs not only of the expert in argumentation, but also of the practical debater. The average citizen is called upon to argue orally far oftener than he is required to present a written argument; and of what avail is his knowledge and logic if they cannot be utilized in the discussions of every-day life? However, any attempt to teach debate in a thorough and systematic manner must involve the study of argumentation generally, and this, in turn, involves practice in writing and argumentative composition. A treatise on debate, therefore, must include the subject of argumentation in all its phases, -analysis, evidence, proof, the different kinds of arguments and how to meet them. But the present volume goes further than this, and aims to show the student how he may utilize his training in writing when he is called upon to present his arguments orally before an actual audience and in the presence of an opponent who is waiting to reply.Debate being primarily a disciplinary study, not an informing one, the ultimate purpose of instruction in this line must be to lead one to think for himself, to check errors in reasoning, and to think straight. Debate is therefore a difficult subject to treat in a formal manner. The endeavor has been, however, to develop the treatment in a systematic way, making all suggestions as specific as possible, giving attention to one thing at a time, and supplementing principles and theories with illustrative matter and with exercises for practice. In the one hundred and fifty questions for debate contained in the Appendix will be found a wide range of subjects for special investigations, discussions, and moot court practice.In the preparation of this treatise many helpful suggestions have been secured from various works on argumentation; special acknowledgements of which will be found in the text

CHAPTER IX PERSUASION So far as we have been considering chiefly that part of debating which has to do with the reasoning processes, which is directed primarily to the mind, and results in conviction. But an argument which appeals only to the understanding may be barren of results. The cold logic of Brutus was easily overcome by the persuasive appeals of Antony. For the hearer to accept your reasoning is one thing, but for him to cast aside his prejudices and inertia is another thing. You want him to accept your argument in fact as well as in theory; in other words, to act upon it, be the action expressed in the verdict of a jury, by a vote in a deliberative body, or by any other line of conduct. It would take little argument, for instance, to convince the ordinary citizen that he should exercise his right of suffrage; but something more might be needed to impel him to go to the polls on a particular election day. That part of debating which wins the disposition of the hearers, directs motives, arouses emotions, and touches the springs of action is called persuasion. The importance of Persuasion in debate cannot be overestimated, for it is the climax of all argument proper. "Is it not," says Emerson, " the end of eloquence, to alter in a pair of hours, perhaps in a half-hour's discourse, the convictions and habits of years?" And yet, unlike the processes of pure conviction, the sources of persuasion are too ill-defined and elusive for any systematic treatment. All reasonable men reason substantially alike. But men act from different motives; and in the use of persuasion in debate much must depend upon the individual debater's tact in appreciating the particular motives that appertain to a particular audience. Generally considered, ...
