QUESTION TYPE: Strengthen
CONCLUSION: Claude thinks France should hold referenda on foreign policy. Lorraine disagrees.
REASONING: Claude believes that elections do not produce a mandate for foreign policy issues, and that referenda would increase public accountability.
Lorraine asserts that the public is uninformed about foreign policy.
ANALYSIS: To strengthen his argument, Claude could show that the public is informed about foreign policy, or could be informed.
___________
- Lorraine doesn’t think this is a problem, she just thinks voters are idiots.
- This weakens Claude’s argument: to a certain extant the public must not be informed.
- This would introduce accountability to foreigners, not the public. It would probably be a bad idea, strengthening Lorraine.
- CORRECT. This helps Claude. Referenda and public accountability would decrease apathy and citizens could inform themselves.
- This strengthens Lorraine’s argument that referenda are a bad idea.
