ANSWER:
Patrick Henry, in his speech uses parallelism and pathos as the two rhetorical devices in his last words of the speech.
Parallelism is the rhetorical device that consists of the grammatical structures of different words or phrases in a sentence or in a paragraph. This is included in order to emphasize the main idea that is conveyed through the message and to create an impact in the minds of the audience. On the other hand pathos is used to appeal the emotions of the audience. The given phrase ‘give me liberty, or give me death’ successfully uses parallelism and creates an impact in the audience’s minds through pathos.
