Question

read the excerpt from president kennedy’s report to 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.
which sentence from the excerpt best explains the point of the logical appeal that president kennedy makes?
○ 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.

Explanation:

A logical appeal here relies on framing the issue with clear, reasoned grounding. The sentence identifies the core nature of the crisis as moral, tying it to established, widely accepted authorities (Scriptures and the U.S. Constitution) to logically anchor the argument about the need for collective moral action, rather than just political or legal fixes. This provides a reasoned, foundational basis for his appeal.

Answer:

We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the Scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution.
