	The rhetorical situation does not call a situation into existence, the situation calls rhetoric into existence. A situation is rhetorical when some specific situational circumstance requires the need for rhetoric. Rhetoric is needed when an audience must be pushed to do something. Bitzer defines a rhetorical with three key terms. Every rhetorical situation has exigence. Exigence is a problem that needs to be addressed and resolved by rhetoric. Rhetoric must find a solution for the problem or the situation is not rhetorical. This potential solution involves the second aspect: audience. A rhetorical situation in focused on reaching those with the power to facilitate change. The audience is the group of persons that can affect exigence. The audience must be able to work for and potentially manage change. The last requirement of a rhetorical situation is a set of constraints. Constraints are all the aspects of a situation that constrain decision and action. They are the obstacles that impede modifying the exigence.
