the American People.

Nor is this a partisan issue. In a time of domestic crisis
men of good will and generosity should be able to unite
regardless of party or politics. This is not even a legal
or legislative issue alone. It is better to settle these
matters in the courts than on the streets, and new laws
are needed at every level, but law alone cannot make
men see right. We are confronted primarily with a moral
issue. It is as old as the Scriptures and is as clear as
the American Constitution.

Answer 1

The sentence that best explains the point of the logical appeal that President Kennedy makes is:

C. It is better to settle these matters in the courts than on the streets, and new laws are needed at every level, but law alone cannot make men see right.

This sentence highlights the importance of addressing the issue through legal means while also emphasizing that laws alone are insufficient to change people's moral perspectives, thereby making a logical argument about the need for both legal and moral action.
