Deffense [45]3 years ago

Because if everyone has their best interests then they will do everything to benefit themselves. although this will lead to a lot of selfishness more people would do less bad if all they cared about was protecting themselves. such as if they thought they could go to jail if they robbed a bank they wouldn't because it would be against their interest/ it could negatively affect them. but a majority of countries already have a punishment policy in place for bad behavior. ie: laws yet people break them knowing the consiqunces, some people might make the argument that they break the law because they don't have their own best interest which in many cases is true. I hope this helped I tried to give you views from both spectrums so you can make your own answer why Smith supports this claim. don't forget to rate and thanks me it helps loads. have a good one.

What do you think should be the most important factor when deciding which candidate to support in an election? (There could be m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

When deciding on someone to support in an election you must pay attention to what they say and what they do. Even though they might say they would do something for the country in the future doesn't mean they would actually do it. So look at what they've done in the present and past to determine what they say they will do in the future and pay attention to the way the speak mood and tone always factor into things like that.
