S-244 Learning Arguments (5)

Argument :"Your Honour, Let the accused go abroad. I personally assure Your Honour that he will return."

First, reframe this argument.

1) Let the accused go abroad
2) Because I give personal assurance.

Here, Statement (2) has logical fallacy of Ipse Dixit. Ipse Dixit means "Because I say so."

The argument is very weak.
