Seat Belt Argument Analysis

171 Words1 Pages
This article has a lot of the same style and feel as the fee.org article. It gives references to the Thirteenth Amendment, stating that nobody has ownership of another human being. The article is divided up into five different sections: driver safety is not a special prerogative of the state, you own yourself, safety regulations lead to reckless behavior, externalized healthcare costs are only a problem under socialism, and “Click it or Ticket” is a step towards totalitarianism. Each section gives a different view on supporting the argument that seat belt laws are an infringement of rights. The article stays focused on this point, and establishes the idea behind it that seat belts should always be worn, but should not be forced to be worn.
