Proposition of fact
isone that is concerned with the truthor falsity of an act of judgment.It aims at
belief. It settles thequestion: Is this assertion true?While,
Proposition of policy
is onethat is concerned with the wisdom or
unwisdom, the expediency orinexpediency, of a course of action.It aims at action. It
answers thequestions: Should it be done?Should this course of action be
followed?Will you repeat what I have said aboutthe two classes of propositions Emeline?
