“Those states … will hardly adopt them”: On a fallacy in political discourse in the summer of 1789

&

Abstract

A type of ad socordiam is identified in its context, with data from debates on the Bill of Rights in 1789. The fallacy involves a hidden intention as a salient feature. The study examines the ques-tion of how inferences can be made about hidden intentions. Further, it examines the relation of the fallacy identified to another type of ad socordiam.
