Read this sentence from the speech.

But different men often see the same subject in

different lights, and, therefore, I hope it will not

be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if,

entertaining as I do, opinions of a character

very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my

sentiments freely, and without reserve.

Which theme does this sentence suggest?

Answer: The theme that this sentence suggests is that people are different and often disagree with each other.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from a speech that Patrick Henry delivered to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond. In the speech, he suggests that Virginians should support the Revolutionary War.

The lines above are from the very beginning of Henry's speech. In these lines, Henry argues that people are different and have different opinions. He hopes that man who disagree with him will not be offended by the ideas he is about to present in his speech. He does not attack those who do not support him, as it is not the right way to persuade people to agree with him. Quite the opposite: Henry shows respect for those people, and argues that good people often disagree.
