<jats:p>This Article will examine how the rhetoric of the legal speechwriters reflected idealized views on participatory democracy and the rule of law. Next, this Article will attempt to show that these same views also supported a strong Athenian tradition of opposing tyranny, and that this, in turn, led to the inclusion of anti-tyrannical rhetoric in some of the legal speeches. Finally, this Article will address the lasting legacy of this anti-tyrannical rhetoric by giving evidence of its modern usage in the rhetoric of American foreign policy and by proposing reasons for its enduring presence.</jats:p>
