Some political thinkers hope to devise a form of government in which every citizen's rights are respected. ███ ████ █ ████ ██ ██████████ ██ ███████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ ██ ████ ████ █████████ ███ ██████ ███ ███████ ███ ██ ██ ██████████ ████ ████ ███████████ ████ █████ ███ ██ █████████ █████ ████ ██ ████ █ ███████ █████ ██ █████████ █████ ████ ██████ █████
Summary
The author concludes that no form of government can respect the rights of all its citizens. We are given two conditional statements to support this claim:
(1) All governments are defined by laws.
(2) These laws will always lead to some people having greater political power than others.
Notable Assumptions
This is a cookie-cutter conditional argument, so the author makes a highly predictable assumption. We can validly conclude that all governments lead to some people having more political power than others, but we need to add another variable to our conditional chain:
If some people can gain more political power than others, then at least some citizens’ rights will be violated.
This allows us to validly conclude that no form of government will respect the rights of all its citizens.
