PrepTest 137 - Section 3 - Question 9

Show summary

Legal theorist: Conclusion Governments should not be allowed to use the personal diaries of an individual who is the subject of a criminal prosecution as evidence against that individual. █ █████ ██ █ ██████ ████████████ ████ ███████ ███ █████ ██ ██ ████████ ██████████ ███████ ████████ ██ ████████ ███████ █████ ████████ █████ ███ ███████ █████ ████████ ██ ████████

Summarize Argument

The legal theorist concludes that governments shouldn’t be allowed to use a person’s diary as evidence against them in a criminal prosecution. She supports this by saying that a diary is a conversation with oneself and there’s no real difference between talking to oneself, writing down one’s thoughts, and keeping those thoughts private.

Notable Assumptions

The legal theorist assumes that governments shouldn’t use a person’s words— whether spoken or written— against them if those words are only meant for that person herself.
