| <p> ASSENT', n. L. assensus, from assentior, to assent, of ad and sentio, to thing. </p> 1. The act of the mind in admitting, or agreeing to, the truth of a proposition. <p> Faith is the assent to any proposition, on the credit of the proposer. </p> 2. [[Consent]] agreement to a proposal, respecting some right or interest as, the bill before the house has the assent of a great majority of the members. <p> The distinction between assent and consent seems to be this: assent is the agreement to an abstract proposition. We assent to a statement, but we do not consent to it. Consent is an agreement to some proposal or measure which affects the rights or interest of the consenter. We consent to a proposal of marriage. This distinction however is not always observed. See Consent. </p> 3. [[Accord]] agreement. 2 Chronicles 18 .

| <p> That act of the mind whereby it takes or acknowledges any proposition to be true or false. There are three degrees of assent: conjecture, opinion, and belief. Conjecture is but a slight and weak inclination to assent to the thing proposed, by reason of the weighty objections that lie against it. [[Opinion]] is a more steady and fixed assent; when a man is almost certain, though yet some fear of the contrary remains with him. Belief is a more full and assured assent to the truth. </p> <p> See [[Belief]] </p>
