Although the writers have successfully proved their claim, it would have been easier to determine whether the writers were credible if the readers were able to look into the background of a specific author and if the writers had mentioned the counterargument or at least given information about why the government has not heavily enforced the laws that they have put into place. By including these two things, they writers would have a slightly more concrete argument.

Evaluating the definitions of certain legal terms and then interpreting them using her own words incorporates logos into the article.
