Identify and explain the fallacies of relevance in the following passages: I was seven years old when the first election campaign which I can remember took place in my district. At that time we still had no political parties, so the announcement of this campaign was received with very little interest. But popular feeling ran high when it was disclosed that one of the candidates was the Prince. There was no need to add Christian and surname to realize which Prince was meant. He was the owner of the great estate formed by the arbitrary occupation of the vast tracts of land reclaimed in the previous century from the Lake of Fucino. About eight thousand families that is the majority of the local population are still employed today in cultivating the estates fourteen thousand hectares. The Prince was deigning to solicit his families for their vote so that he could become their deputy in parliament. The agents of the estate, who were working for the Prince, talked in impeccably liberal phrases: Naturally said they, naturally no one will be forced to vote for the Prince, thats understood; in the same way that no one, naturally, can force the Prince to allow people who dont vote for him to work on his land. This is the period of real liberty for everybody; youre free, and so is the Prince. The announcement of these liberal principles produced general and understandable consternation among the peasants. For, as may easily be guessed, the Prince was the most hated person in our part of the country.
