Fifteenth Estonian Parliament, fifth session, plenary session.
The rhetorical style is direct, procedural, and interrogative, focusing on logical and legal details. A slight critical tone ("rebel/revolt") is employed regarding the constitutional amendment, but this is immediately followed by a specific question demanding the opposing party's viewpoint.
