select the word in the sentences from paragraph 8 that comes from a latin word meaning \something assumed to be true.\
\the contrary supposition is quite as fair as in spirit, and, better, they have done so. we, the people are three plain english words that do not admit of any subtle, symbolical meaning, and when you count us in the basis of representation, as i said, you admit that we are people.\ (paragraph 8)

Explanation:

We need to find the word from the sentence that comes from a Latin word meaning "something assumed to be true". Let's analyze the options:

• "supposition" comes from the Latin word "suppositio" which means an assumption or something taken to be true.
• "spirit" has a different Latin origin (like "spiritus" meaning breath, soul) not related to assumption.
• "meaning" comes from Old English and Latin "significare" (to signify), not about assumption.
• "representation" comes from Latin "repraesentatio" related to presenting, not assumption.

So the word is "supposition".

Answer:

supposition
