I had been meaing to ask in class today about Franklin's what the warrant of Franklin's letter was. His audiences were, as we stated in class, English officials, the English public, and the American colonists. But if we look at the letter as an argument through the Toulmin model, what would his warrant be for these audiences? Would it be the same for all or different for each? Does it have anything to do with the cake analogy?

I think the warrant is that everyone understands his sarcasm. Everyone can agree that the policy Franklin is outlining is not one the British empire should pursue. This provides common ground for both Franklin and his audience.
