What type of fallacy does this argument represent?

English

Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago

The argument is that the original US Constitution did not intend for African slaves to be “citizens” of the United States. It is historically false since as dissenter justices Curtis and McLean stated, five of the original 13 states had a sizable minority of free black men who were citizens that could also vote in federal and state elections. Now that being established, the correct answer should be “hasty generalization” since the argument pretends that all citizens, at the time of the ratification of the constitution were white and that only these "all white" citizens were able to vote which is historically false. It could not be a genetic fallacy since the historical precedent invalidates the claim that the intended meaning of the word “citizens” only applied to white Americans. It could not be an <em>ad populum</em> fallacy since not all Americans agreed with such contention,  and finally, it could not be a case of begging the claim since they do provide a finding that in their view supports their erroneous conclusion, so it is not circular logic.

Which sentence is the best use of passive voice
Bingel [31]

"Water is formed by two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen" is the passive voice statement.

Option (b);

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

A sentence can be written in both active voice and passive voice. The active voice explains the subject part of the sentence and in the passive voice the verb is highlighted instead of the subject. These passive voice are mostly not preferred in writing the sentences.

The options like first, third and fourth statement gives an unclear voice statement while the second option, explains the formation of the water molecule and outcomes on that formation. Thus it is revealed to be a passive voice statement.

Compare and contrast Shakespeare sonnet 116 and 55
spayn [35]
Both sonnets tackle the topic of the eternity of love and its resistance to transience and all the considerations of this world. The speaker of the Sonnet 116 says that love is "an ever fixed mark", and it isn't "Time's fool". Love is also present in the Sonnet 55, but its more pervasive theme is his beauty and the role of poetry to preserve it. There is a tiny little reference to poetry and the poet's role in the Sonnet 116 as well - in the final line, the speaker refers to himself as a writer (and preserver of beauty and truth, obviously).

However, in the Sonnet 116, we can't be sure as to whom the speaker speaks. He briefly mentions a listener in the second person - "let me". But it is not his beloved. He speaks about love in the general sense, giving us just a glimpse of his personal life in the penultimate line - "If this be error and upon me prov'd". The Sonnet 55 has a more intimate tone, as the speaker openly addresses his lover, whose beauty has the central place in the poem. He even writes the sonnet to make his lover's beauty live forever - so, even the poetry itself is subordinate to his primary occupation. The poetry is only a means to an end.
