Fallacies

§.1. Exposition

Law. C &c
1 Corruption 1 Tyranny rule.
In some cases it tak
The fallacy may be employed in the affording of
support to bad arrangements the fallacy may be employed in either of two ways
The fallacy consists in making use of a name of
lax important import without applying to it those such limitations
as would be. be necessary to confine what is said of predicated
it within the pale of truth: and on that account whenever on every
occasion on which the language affords a word name by the use of which
that which is predicated would be confined within the pale of
truth, avoiding the use of this such precisely proper term.
By this expedient, by lumping under the same more extensive name
objects that which under their precise and appropriate name are p f indefensible, it presents them to view as innoxious.
In this case, while the object for which there is a precise
name is a sort of foul spot, the lax name serves as a
sort of cloak to it.
Examples Tyranny Foul spot, tyranny; cloak, Order
Foul spots, Election corruption, and Election terrorism; cloak, influence.
Thus though you could not praise as useful nor so much as
vindicate as innoxious tyranny under its own name:
under the name of order, you may not only vindicate
but even praise it. Maintenance of order you may say
ought on every occasion to be among the objects of government.
But by those same practices arrangements by which tyranny is exercised
order is maintained. Thus by causing maintenance of
order to be indiscriminately and in all cases regarded as a justifiable act and even laudable exercise of the power of government
you cause the maintenance exercise of tyranny to be regarded on many occasions as
as a justifiable and even laudable exercise of the powers of governments
