Question
Explain the statement, support and form of the Rule $(HS)$ relating to the Constitution.
✓

Answer

The rule concerning the supra$-$constitutional is the rule of conjecture which forms the standard argument.
This rule is one$-$way.
The statements, affirmations and proofs of this rule by the Truth Table are as follows:
Statement: If two statements $P \rightarrow Q$ and $Q \rightarrow R$ are given as the basis, then the statement $P \rightarrow R$ can be concluded on that basis.
Form: $p \rightarrow q$
$q \rightarrow r$
$\therefore p \rightarrow r$
Support: If both $P \rightarrow Q$ and $Q \rightarrow R$ are true, then the $P \rightarrow R$ statement is also true. Because,
If the first two conditionalities are true, then the third conditional condition derived from it is also true based on the rule of truthfulness of the conditional condition.
Argument Truth Table:
  First base statement Second base statement The resulting statement
  $p$ $q$ $r$ $p \rightarrow q$ $q \rightarrow r$ $p \rightarrow r$
$1$ $T$ $T$ $T$ $T$ $T$ $T$
$2$ $T$ $T$ $F$ $T$ $F$ $F$
$3$ $T$ $F$ $T$ $F$ $T$ $T$
$4$ $T$ $F$ $F$ $F$ $T$ $F$
$5$ $F$ $T$ $T$ $T$ $T$ $T$
$6$ $F$ $T$ $F$ $T$ $F$ $T$
$7$ $F$ $F$ $T$ $T$ $T$ $T$
$8$ $F$ $F$ $F$ $T$ $T$ $T$
             
The validity of the form of the argument: With the help of the truth table given above, it can be known that both the bases of rows $1, 5, 7$ and $8$ are true and the result of the same row is also true.
There is not a single substitute for both bases to be true and the result of the same row to be untrue. Hence this form of argument is standard.
Thus the rule relating to the supra$-$constitutional constitution represented by this form proves to be standard.
Any argument based on this rule always proves to be standard.
Abbreviation: This rule is called ‘Hypothetical Syllogism’ in English. In short this rule is known as the rule of $HS.$
