AnswerClick to flip back
A
If we are morally responsible for our actions, then we must have free will.
💡 Explanation:

The Argument from Personal Responsibility begins with the premise that we are morally responsible for our actions. This means that we can be praised or blamed for our actions, and that we deserve to be punished or rewarded for them. The argument then concludes that if we are morally responsible for our actions, then we must have free will. This is because if we did not have free will, then we would not be able to control our actions, and therefore we would not be responsible for them.
