Answer:

<u>Liberalism</u>

Left-wing, federalist. Prefer more regulation and services like free universal health care to be provided by the government to all citizens.

Government should provide more services to the less fortunate (like health care) and increase taxes if necessary. High-income earners should pay a larger percentage of their income as taxes.

<u></u>

<u>conservatism</u>

Right-wing, anti-federalist. Prefer smaller government, less regulation, most services to be provided by the private sector in a free market, and a literal interpretation of the Constitution.

Government should tax less and spend less. Cutting spending to balance the budget should be the priority. Higher income earners should have an incentive to invest (credits). Charity is the responsibility of the people.

katrin [286]

There are many fallacies in this statement. Primarily, the statement uses fallacy that pertains to hasty generalizations that are made from a small sample that is too vague and biased. Another fallacy at work here is the fallacy of appeal to tradition.

<h3>What fallacy is present in the statement?</h3>

The particular statement talks about abortion rights in the U.S. and seeks to provide a constitutional basis for the lack of abortion rights for abortion-seeking people in the United States of America.
The first fallacy is the fallacy of hasty generalizations.
Sweeping and hasty generalizations and conclusions are made from a relatively small, biased, and vague sample size that does not reflect the full context of the example cited.
Another fallacy present in the argument is the fallacy that pertains to appeal to tradition.
Appeal to tradition is applied to arguments where an event or statement is confirmed to be valid and reasonable solely because it has some historical precedent and has been continuing for years, as a tradition.
Appeal to tradition operates here as a fallacy since the argument seems to make the claim that since abortion has not been obtained through constitutional means, instances of the same can be ruled out totally to make a convenient argument against abortion rights.

Therefore, the argument exhibits two fallacies namely, hasty generalizations and an appeal to tradition.

What did explorers call North America in the 16th and 17th centuries?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The New World, America, and North America

Explanation:

In 1492, Columbus thought he had reached India.

However, a famous explorer, navigator, and contemporary of Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, recognized that this was a New World (called "Novus Mundus" in maps).

In 1507, a famous mapmaker used Vespucci's descriptions of his travels to create a map in which he called the landmass America in the explorer's honour.

At the time, countries had feminine names, so the name went from Italian Amerigo to Latin (m.) Americus to Latin (f.) America.

All North and South America was considered as one entity, and the name was placed on South America (see image).

Within three decades, the names became North and South America.

However, North America quickly became divided into areas named after the countries that had "discovered" them: New France, New England, New Spain, etc. Local explorers probably used the local names of the territories through which they were travelling.
