Read the following excerpt from a group discussion: Susan: I believe that all elected officials should be required to obtain a 4-year degree from a major
university because the amount of legal paperwork they have to read is a lot.
Jimmy: Are you saying that only people with a 4-year degree can read higher-level Information?
Susan: typically yes.
Jimmy: It would be nice to have politicians who have the ability to read legal documents.
Susan: Good. Now all I need to do is convince Fred. I knew you would lose.
Jimmy: But wait, I wasn't finished. I disagree with the idea that politicians needing to have a certain
educational degree. As Lincoln's Gettysburg Address states, our government should be a "government of
the people by the people for the people." And, according to the New York Times, a little under 70% to the
U. S population does not have a college degree. So, I cannot support a law that will limit the rights of the
majority of our population.
