Answer:

Because that man is balding and has age spots, his children will likely go bald and will develop age spots.

Explanation:

Aristotle (384-322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher who is widely renowned as the creator of formal logic. Through the logical argumentation known as syllogism, where a series of general premises lead to a conclusion derived from said premises, one could say that <u>because that a man is balding and has age spots (the premise) means that his children will likely go bald and will develop age spots (the conclusion)</u>.

However, this argument only holds on if one really believes in Lamarckian inheritance - that is, the inheritance of acquired characteristics. However, it has been scientifically proven that this theory is false, as traits are inherited through our genes. This is called genetics.

The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery

The 14th Amendment stated that no state shall abridge the rights of any citizens

The 15th Amendment, ostensibly, gives the right to vote to African-American men. It states that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

So, the 15th Amendment worked to codify, or bring into fruition, a whole new group of voting citizens who had equal protection under the law in a system where slavery is now illegal.
