Response for Wednesday: Arguments for Change

The two readings assigned for Wednesday's (online) class have to do with another kind of scholarly argument: arguing for change. What, in your opinion, are some major distinctions between arguing a position (what we're writing for this unit) and arguing for change (the next unit's topic)? Look carefully at the Jefferson example of arguing for change. Use this example to compare and contrast against one position argument example we've read from Chapter 13, Arguing a Position.

In your post, explain one or two similarities or differences between the two types of argument, using examples from the Jefferson reading and one other reading we've already done in this past unit.
