What does 'Ipso Facto' mean?

  1. By the power vested in me

  2. By the mere effect of an act or a fact

  3. In the fact itself

  4. By itself

The correct answer is: By the mere effect of an act or a fact

Ipso facto is a Latin term meaning "by the mere effect of an act or fact." This means that something is deemed true or valid simply by the occurrence or existence of a particular act or fact. Option A, "By the power vested in me," refers to an authority figure granting power or making a decision, which is not the same as something being true by mere effect. Option C, "In the fact itself," and option D, "By itself," use prepositions that do not accurately capture the meaning of ipso facto, which specifically includes the word "effect." Therefore, option B is the best choice for conveying the meaning of ipso facto.
