When Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) refused to support the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave voting rights to black men but not to women, she argued that the Amendment had the logical flaw known as "false dilemma."
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
A false dilemma presents only two alternatives to choose from with the implicit understanding that there are only two viable choices. Oftentimes there are three or more good alternatives, and ignoring those would be a logical error. The choice between either black men getting the vote but not women or only white men getting the vote is a false dilemma.
