Sascha: The attempt to ban parliament's right to pass directed-spending bills—bills that contain provisions specifically funding the favorite projects of some powerful politicians—is antidemocratic. Our nation's constitution requires that money be drawn from our treasury only when so stipulated by laws passed by parliament, the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens.This requirement is based on the belief that exercising the power to spend public resources involves the ultimate exercise of state authority and that therefore_________.
Which of the following most logically completes Sascha's argument?
designating funding specifically for the favorite projects of some powerful politicians should be considered antidemocratic
the right to exercise such a power should belong exclusively to the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens
exercising the power to spend public resources is in most cases—but not all—protected by the constitution
modifications to any spending bills should be considered expenditures authorized by law
only officials who are motivated by concerns for reelection should retain that power
逻辑链:国家根本信念是:花费公共资源涉及国家根本权力的行使→(只有议会才拥有权力)→宪法要求只有当议会通过法律之后,钱才可以被使用→取缔议会通过法案的权力是反民主的
推理类型:因果推理
前提:实施花费公共资源的权力包括国家权力的行使
结论:只有当议会(最代表公民的政府部门)通过法律之后,国库才可以被花费
题目类型:加强
B:正确:实施这种权力应该完全属于最代表民众的政府部门(确立因果联系:信念认为花钱涉及根本权力,且只有议会才有权力,所以宪法要求只有议会通过法律之后,才可以花钱)
