Balanced Sentence: Construction in which both halves of the sentence are about the same length and importance.
Example:
" To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other."
(Frederick Douglass, Pg. 150)
This is a balanced sentence because both of the lines are important. The first part talks about being friends with someone that hurt you. And he's saying that if he became friend with one person he must become the enemy of the other one.
