the first charter of VIRGINIA upgraded
The document in question is written by King James’s “royal document writers”(?) Since the king is too fat and lazy he has people do his work for him =]. The document is addressed to the lords of “Virginia”, and the people under their rule. The tone of the document is commanding and informational. All the document is doing is telling what the settlers can and can’t do with their goods/positions/land and other aspects of the Lords and their descendents pretty much for all time (purpose). The persuasion of the document is logic, or logos. It’s logical for the king to want to rule his subjects in the distant land to claim goods, land and gold to further the degree of his power. More land = more power.
