Elena: Support The best form of government is one that fosters the belief among its citizens that they have a say in how the government is run. █████ █████████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ██ ███████████

███████ ███ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ██████████ █████ █████ ████████ ███ ██ ███████████ ████ █████████ ████ ████ █ ███ ████ ████ ██████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Elena believes that democracy is the best form of government. She believes this because the best form of government is one where the people believe they have a say in how it is run.

Marsha points out that many forms of government manipulate people into thinking that they have a say in how the government is run when they really don’t.

Identify Argument Part

This is utilized to weaken the relationship between Elena’s premise and conclusion. Marsha’s statement shows that just because a populace believes they have a say over government affairs, it does not mean that they actually do or are living in a democracy.

Show answer

Marsha's claim that it is ████████ ███ ███████████ ██ ██████████ ██████ ████ ████████ ████ ████ ████ █ ███ ████ ████ ██ ███ ██ ████ ██

concur with Elena's █████ ████ █████████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ██ ██████████

Marsha does not say whether democracy is the best form of government. She challenges Elena's reasoning by suggesting that the feeling of having a say can be manipulated in non-democratic systems.

support Marsha's unstated ██████████ ████ ███ ████ ████ ██ ██████████ ██ ███ ████ ███████ ██ ██ ██████████ ███ ██████ ██ ███

This is not an unstated conclusion anywhere in Marsha’s argument. She is just pointing out an assumption in Elena’s reasoning

suggest that the ███████ █████ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ █████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ █ ███████████ ██████████

This is an accurate description of Marsha’s claim. She suggests that Elena’s premise could also support the conclusion that other forms of government could be considered the best if they manipulated their citizens to believe they were in control.

support Marsha's unstated ██████████ ████ ████ ██████ ████ ████ ███ ██████████ ██ █████████ ██████ ████ █████████ ██████

This is not an unstated conclusion in Marsha’s argument. There is nothing about people wanting the appearance of democracy.

reject Elena's conclusion ████ ███ ████ ████ ██ ██████████ ██ █████████

Marsha does not go this far. She is merely casting doubt on Elena’s reasoning that democracy is the best form of government.
