Inference Question + S&N Diagramming

The rule for diagramming an unless statement is that the unless precedes the necessary statement and then you negate the sufficient condition. The necessary here for the unless statement is redistribute wealth. The sufficient will be "unable to alleviate economic injustice and our current system will lead inevitably to intolerable economic inequities". not AEI and not IEI --> RW not RW --> AEI or IEI If the inequities become intolerable, those who suffer from the injustice will resort to violence to coerce social reform. IEI --> V not V --> not IEI The link here is then: not RW --> AEI or IEI --> V The jump to the inference is then based on the conclusion, "it is our nation's responsibility to do whatever is necessary to alleviate conditions that would otherwise give rise to violent attempts at social reform."
