Summary

For legislators to pass laws that benefit constituents, it is necessary to consider the effects of a potential law. Legislators currently present laws in strongly worded and emotional ways, which promotes strong reactions from other legislators. Therefore, legislators today don’t pass laws that benefit their constituents.

Notable Assumptions

This argument provides a necessary condition for a beneficial law (considering its effects), before stating that legislators are currently emotional and therefore don’t pass beneficial laws. It is missing a connection between the legislators being emotional and the fact that they don’t meet the necessary condition for the laws they pass to be beneficial.
