Since Support anyone who makes an agreement has an obligation to fulfill the terms of that agreement, it follows that Support anyone who is obligated to perform an action has agreed to perform that action. ██████ ██████ ████ ███ ███ █ █████ ██████████ ██ ███████ █ █████ ██████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ██████ ████ ███ ██ ████████ ██ ███████ █████ █████████ ██ ███████ ████ ███████
The argument concludes that having a legal obligation to perform a certain action is the same as having agreed to perform that action. Why? Because agreeing to perform an action obligates someone to perform that action. From this, the argument draws the sub-conclusion that being obligated to perform an action must mean that one has agreed to perform that action.
The argument has a cookie-cutter flaw: confusing sufficient and necessary conditions. Just because an agreement to perform an action is sufficient to create an obligation to perform that action, that doesn’t mean an agreement has necessarily been made for every obligation. There might be other ways an obligation is formed.
The argument also baselessly treats “legal obligations” and “obligations” as equivalent by saying that they are “the same.”
