Question

Name the quality and quantity of of the following proposition, and state whether their subject and predicate terms are distributed or undistributed:All hard-line advocates of law and order at any cost are people who will be remembered, if at all, only for having failed to understand the major social pressures of the twenty-first century

Answer 1

The categorical proposition is " All S is P"

This sentence could be denoted by letter name "A".

The quality of the proposition is "Affirmative" as it is affirming that all S is P, here, all hard-liners would be remembered as people.

The quantity of the proposition is "Universal", the proposition is universally applicable to all hard-liners of the law and order.

The categorical proposition only distributes the "S" or the subject, that is the hard-liners.

The predicate term "people" remains undistributed,as not all people are hard-liners of law and order.
