Dobbs Sentences #27: Part II A 2

As always, you can find the Dobbs v. Jackson decision here.

Paragraph 5 of 9

Sentence 1 of 3

The next paragraph starts with a sentence that contains two claims:

“A similar inquiry was undertaken in McDonald, which held that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms.”

Here are the two claims:

  1. “A similar inquiry [to the inquiry undertaken in Timbs] was undertaken in McDonald.”
  2. “McDonald [. . .] held that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms.”

Since this is the topic sentence, the claims made here should be supported by the rest of the paragraph. We’ll see shortly, but for right now we’ll mark both of these as undetermined:

  • “A similar inquiry [to the inquiry undertaken in Timbs] was undertaken in McDonald.”
  • “McDonald [. . .] held that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms.”
