This is an 'adverb infinitive'. It is not a participle, either present of past, because it doesn't end in -ing. And it is not an 'adjective infinitive' since its meaning is adverbial, 'you must capture or trap the other king' IN ORDER 'to win a game of chess'. Adjective has to modify a noun, which isn't the case in this sentence.
I’m confused, can u be more specific
Answer:
During sixteen long months <u>this assault</u> has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small. <u>The assailants</u> are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small. Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress information of the state of the Union," I find it, unhappily, necessary to report that <u>the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.</u> Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. Let us remember that the total of those populations and their resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere-many times over.
Explanation:
For a little context, FDR wanted to counter the tendency of Americans to avoid any involvement in affairs beyond their borders and their isolationist policies.
I hope this answers your question :)
The protest document is urging readers to assert their opposition to the draft.
It views conscription (forced enrollment in the military) as a transgression of the citizens' rights protected by the Constitution. That is why the document asks people to resist the draft ("Do not submit to intimidation") because if they consent, they are also part of the problem. Submitting and being silent about their rights would mean that they are encouraging freedom violation: "If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights."
