Question

if it is wrong to take someone’s property by force, and the king has forced colonists to house and feed his soldiers rent - free, then
the king’s actions are wrong.
the king should make soldiers pay rent.
the king has taken property by force.

Explanation:

Answer:

To construct the argument:

• What is a reason? the king has taken property by force.
• What should be a reason? If it is wrong to take someone’s property by force, and the king has forced colonists to house and feed his soldiers rent - free, then the king’s actions are wrong.
• Why is a conclusion? the king should make soldiers pay rent.

(Note: The above is the logical matching of the parts of the argument. The "What should be a reason?" part is the major premise that combines the moral principle and the factual situation to lead to the conclusion, the "What is a reason?" part is the minor premise that provides the factual basis related to the major premise, and the "Why is a conclusion?" part is the conclusion derived from the premises.)
