[step:Verify case (1) — axioms are tautologies, so every valuation sends them to $1$]
The axioms of propositional calculus are the schemata
\begin{align*}
\text{(A1)} &\quad a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow a), \\
\text{(A2)} &\quad [a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow c)] \Rightarrow [(a \Rightarrow b) \Rightarrow (a \Rightarrow c)], \\
\text{(A3)} &\quad ((a \Rightarrow \bot) \Rightarrow \bot) \Rightarrow a,
\end{align*}
for any $a, b, c \in L$. We claim each instance is a tautology, i.e., every valuation assigns it the value $1$. This is a finite truth-table verification, using the valuation rule
\begin{align*}
v(x \Rightarrow y) &= \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if } v(x) = 1, v(y) = 0, \\ 1 & \text{otherwise,} \end{cases}
\end{align*}
and $v(\bot) = 0$.
**(A1).** For any valuation $v$, consider $v(a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow a))$. If $v(a) = 0$, the outer implication has false antecedent, hence value $1$. If $v(a) = 1$, then the consequent $b \Rightarrow a$ satisfies $v(b \Rightarrow a) = 1$ (since the consequent $a$ has value $1$), so the outer implication has value $1$. Hence $v(a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow a)) = 1$ in all cases.
**(A2).** Let $A := v(a)$, $B := v(b)$, $C := v(c)$. If the outer antecedent $a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow c)$ has value $0$, the outer implication is $1$. Otherwise $v(a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow c)) = 1$, and we must check $v((a \Rightarrow b) \Rightarrow (a \Rightarrow c)) = 1$. Suppose toward contradiction this equals $0$: then $v(a \Rightarrow b) = 1$ and $v(a \Rightarrow c) = 0$. From $v(a \Rightarrow c) = 0$, we get $A = 1$ and $C = 0$. From $v(a \Rightarrow b) = 1$ with $A = 1$, we get $B = 1$. But then $v(b \Rightarrow c) = 0$ (since $B = 1$, $C = 0$), and with $A = 1$, we get $v(a \Rightarrow (b \Rightarrow c)) = 0$, contradicting our assumption. Hence (A2) is a tautology.
**(A3).** We must show $v(((a \Rightarrow \bot) \Rightarrow \bot) \Rightarrow a) = 1$. If $v(a) = 1$, the outer implication has true consequent, hence value $1$. If $v(a) = 0$, then $v(a \Rightarrow \bot) = 1$ (since $v(\bot) = 0$ and $v(a) = 0$, the antecedent is false, so the implication is $1$); then $v((a \Rightarrow \bot) \Rightarrow \bot) = 0$ (since $v(a \Rightarrow \bot) = 1$ and $v(\bot) = 0$, the outer is $0$); the outermost implication has antecedent $0$, hence value $1$. So (A3) is a tautology.
Therefore, if $t_i$ is any instance of (A1), (A2), or (A3), then $v(t_i) = 1$.
