Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop toos

00:05

your brought to you by public opinion One thing that

00:08

can never be privatized that all right check the following

00:11

passage Felons Disenfranchised is your firearm Our phones are on

00:17

fire I'm telling you Kyle five million They do itself

00:33

all right Well which of these sentences does not support

00:36

jordan's Thesis and hear the potential answers consents Okay well

00:42

first let's make sure we're all on the same page

00:43

about what jordan's thesis actually is Seems to us like

00:47

he states directly in sentences three and four The most

00:50

important right that felons lose is the right toe vote

00:54

It should be corrected because it is an injustice Well

00:57

basically he's arguing that the disenfranchisement of felons is unjust

01:01

right Yeah That's What he's arguing Okay so now that

01:05

we're clear on jordan's thesis all we have to do

01:07

is check out each sentence referenced in the answer choices

01:10

to see if it's in line with jordan's main argument

01:13

If the sentence supports jordan's thesis it must be eliminated

01:16

Well first up is joys be since twenty one right

01:19

here Once a felon is repaid his debt to society

01:22

he should be allowed to participate in the voting process

01:25

We'll hear Jordan argues that felons ought to be able

01:27

to vote again after they've repaid their debt to society

01:31

Too bad society doesn't take credit cards whatever this sentence

01:35

definitely supports the thesis of the paper So we can

01:38

cross be off our list It looks like we can

01:40

also get rid of option c sentence twenty four points

01:43

out the huge impact that the disenfranchisement of such a

01:46

large amount of the population can make on a presidential

01:49

election and two felons vote democrat or republican or maybe

01:53

libertarian well here again jordan is making a point to

01:56

support his thesis he's up to his old tricks and

01:59

answer ideas Well incense twenty seven Jordan reminds us that

02:03

a ton of people in the u s don't have

02:05

a voice but maybe they should try gargling with warm

02:08

water weight Political voice would mean yeah either way we

02:12

connects option d the correct answer is option A sentence

02:15

nineteen is an example of a counter argument It presents

02:18

an idea that contradicts jordan's main argument about how felon

02:22

should keep their rights Why would jordan include such a

02:25

thing Because recognizing the other side can actually strengthen his

02:30

argument In the end it gives him a chance to

02:32

show that he understands the other side of things and

02:34

then to point out all the reasons why the other

02:36

side doesn't get how bad the disenfranchisement Of felons really

02:40

is so good job jordan They're making the counter argument

02:43

point Mind us later and you could give us tips

02:45

on our essay about the disenfranchisement of penguins Will their 00:02:48.128 --> [endTime] voices ever be heard
