The most logical and well-reasoned set of statements is:

Residents of Washington, DC, are U.S. citizens who are denied representation in Congress because Washington, DC, is not a state. Representation is a right of all citizens that our founding fathers fought for. So, Washington, DC, should be made a state.

This statement presents a clear argument regarding the lack of representation for residents of Washington, DC, based on their citizenship and historical principles regarding representation. It logically connects the current situation to an argument for statehood based on the right to representation.

The other statements either contain logical fallacies, assumptions not fully supported by their premises, or conclusions that do not logically follow from their premises.
