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.

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.

The men who wrote the Constitution made a

mistake in not writing about the position of enslaved

people within the nation.
