Argument
John Adams, John Quincy Adams' father, was a Federalist.
Family members belong to the same political party.
Thus, John Quincy Adams was a Federalist like his father.A world war is fought by multiple nations in multiple countries.

Answer 1

Let's categorize each argument based on whether they are sound, valid but unsound, or invalid.

1. Argument: John Adams, John Quincy Adams' father, was a Federalist. Family members belong to the same political party. Thus, John Quincy Adams was a Federalist like his father.

   • Classification: Invalid (The premise about family members belonging to the same political party is not universally true and does not logically follow that John Quincy Adams is a Federalist.)

2. Argument: A world war is fought by multiple nations in multiple countries. During the War of 1812, the United States fought Great Britain in America and Canada. It follows that the War of 1812 was a world war.

   • Classification: Valid but unsound (While the argument is valid in its logical structure, the premise that the War of 1812 qualifies as a world war is not accurate.)

3. Argument: The Nineteenth Amendment gave women in the United States the right to vote. Since 1980, women have registered to vote and turned out in greater numbers at the polls than men. Therefore, the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified some time before 1980.

   • Classification: Sound (This argument can be seen as sound since the Nineteenth Amendment was indeed ratified in 1920, and it logically follows that its ratification would precede the statistics given about voting turnout since 1980.)

In summary:

• Invalid: John Adams, John Quincy Adams' father, was a Federalist...
• Valid but unsound: A world war is fought by multiple nations...
• Sound: The Nineteenth Amendment gave women in the United States...
