The first charter of Virginia
The author of this document is Francis Newton Thorpe, in 1606. Since he was the one who crafted the idea of making Virginia with two cities, the document's viewers should have been for the leaders who were commanding the expedition, in order to establish a city. Because the leaders and important people of the expedition where the ones who were meant to see the document, it was written in a more serious tone, without the addition of humor. as for being persuasive, I liked specifically how he used the facts of his plans to support his idea. that way, logical people who see that the facts are in order will be persuaded to join him. An excellent way to get your point across, which was to build and establish the state Virginia, with two cities.
