with french americans in law making public many criminal law

00:26

Is that side my horny All right well sentence seven

00:33

should be moved where alright three choices Well the main

00:39

purpose is sentenced seven is to tell us that disenfranchisement

00:43

happens when a person or a population loses the rights

00:46

of vote but the main problem with the current placement

00:49

of the sentences that it takes way too long to

define the word So where should we put sentence seven

00:55

it makes sense to define the word directly beforehand to

01:46

find it too late We're already confused You find it

01:48

too soon and it's like well when a date dishes
