A manifesto an idea to be built upon, intended for a large audience is written in clear, plain language so that everyone can understand it. The document can be long or short, and many manifestos offer a shorter manifesto for large distribution for the interest of the public.
It is hoped that after reading a manifesto, the audience will seek out more information about the particular topic, creating a growing awareness of and support for a movement. In addition, the manifesto can be used as a starting point for public discussion, as some readers will undoubtedly critique it while others defend it.
