What type of fallacy does this argument represent?

English

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.

Are you a competitive person? Why/Why not?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: You need to answer this about you.

Explanation: A competitive person enjoys games in which there is a clear winner, and generally doesn't like to lose.  If you are competitive, you should explain the things you like to compete at, and how it makes you feel.  E.g. chess, races, board games, entering competitions, and hating to lose.

If you are not competitive, you probably prefer the fun of the game, and don't mind if you don't win, or even don't enjoy competitive games at all.  If this is you, you should explain what things you do that are not competitive, and how it makes you feel. Walking alone, reading books, gardening....
