They perfectly understood the meaning of the language they used, and how it would be understood by others; and
they knew that it would not in any part of the civilized
world be supposed to embrace the negro race, which, by
common consent, had been excluded from civilized
Governments and the family of nations, and doomed to
slavery.
-Dred Scott v. Sandford,
Supreme Court of the United States
Which statement best explains the fallacy in the
argument?
Taney is quick to assume that the writers of the US
Constitution excluded African Americans born in the
country from citizenship.
O Taney unfairly appeals to human emotion by
creating a sense of hopelessness for enslaved
persons during the time of the case.
Because the Constitution does not explicitly
exclude African Americans from citizenship, Taney
is begging the claim.
O The men who wrote the Constitution made a
mistake in not writing about the position of enslaved
people within the nation.

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people

henry david thoreau and ralph warren emerson earned the name transcendentalists.you could assume that transcendentalists come from a well educated background from people that were alive before the american civil war.these people, mostly new englanders, mostly around boston, were attempting to create a uniquely american body of literature. it was already decades since the americans had won independence from england. and so they deliberately went about creating literature, essays, novels, philosophy, poetry, and other writing that were clearly different from anything from england, france, germany, or any other european nation.another way to look at the transcendentalists is to see them as a generation of people struggling to define spirituality and religion in a way that took into account the new understandings their age made available.
