Iam for the "immediate, unconditional, and universal" enfranchisement of the black man, in ev [loud applause.] without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slay liberty as a privilege, not as a right. he is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protec how does the repetition of the phrase "without this" support the paragraph's argument? it reinforces the idea that without equality in the us, the idea of a free society is a joke. it suggests that a free society is possible, with or without equal rights for all people. it indicates that douglass would be content without material possessions or status. it proposes that slavery will not be abolished in the us without the support of all citizens.

In this excerpt, Douglass wants to highlight the hypocrisy of arguing that the United States is a country that enjoys equal rights for all. He thinks it is foolish to claim this when Black Americans do not have the right to vote. Douglass repeats the phrase "without this..." in order to reinforce this idea, and highlight all the limitations that Black people have in society.

I think that it is "It reinforces the idea that without equality in the US, the idea of a free society is a joke."

It reinforces the idea that without equality in the US, the idea of a free society is a joke.

It's important to know that enfranchisement means the giving of a right, especially the right to vote. In this Douglass is saying that just to free African Americans is not enough. If they aren't given the same rights as everyone else, they are still enslaved. His repetition of "without this" emphasizes the importance of equality, not just the abolishing of slavery. Option B and C are simply incorrect statements. Also option D is incorrect because he knows that he will probably never have the support of all citizens.

OK

Explanation:

The repetition of a word or phrase is a common device used in writing and speeches to reinforce a point by making it clearer or making the audience remember it. In the excerpt presented the speaker or author first explains he is there for the "enfranchisement of the black man" which means the speaker is fighting  to make government and society give rights to the Afro-American population and then the author uses the phrase "without this" to support the idea that without the rights for the black population there is not a real enfranchisement or  "liberty is a mockery" as the speaker considers slavery had ended but there are other ways in which society has vulnerate the freedom of this population. Considering this, the speaker mainly uses the phrase "without this" to "reinforce the idea that without equality in the US", which is represented by the lack of rights for the black population "the idea of a free society is a joke" because the speaker mentions society restrains the freedom and liberty of black men, even when slavery has finished.
