I'm not positive on this one. I know it's not logos, so that's out of the question. Theme is more like the general idea of the entire document, which is stated near the beginning. Then we're left with purpose and pathos. Pathos is an appeal to sadness, so to speak. And we know what a purpose is. If I had to make an educated guess here, I'd go with pathos, as the document is talking about how we've denies usurpations(taking something by force). And that interrupts connections and correspondence.
