Question

what would be most convincing to you in an argument to go to war?
○ facts showing that the war is justified
○ facts showing that the war could be won
○ emotions creating a sense of anger
○ emotions creating a sense of patriotism
○ credibility of the person making the argument

Explanation:

From an ethical and just war theory perspective, the foundational basis for supporting a war is that it is morally and legally justified. Just war principles require that a war has a just cause (such as self-defense against an unjust attack), is declared by a legitimate authority, has right intention, and meets other criteria. This makes factual justification the most convincing and ethically sound basis for supporting a war, as it addresses the core question of whether the war is right to begin with, rather than practicality, emotional appeals, or the messenger's credibility.

Answer:

Facts showing that the war is justified
