The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that Glen and Sara disagree about whether
citizens can be assumed to be capable of making good choices without governmental interference
virtuousness on the part of citizens is more important than the protection of citizens' rights
there is an inherent danger in allowing government to decide what constitutes virtuous behavior among citizens
an emphasis on law's purely procedural side results in government's being overprotective of citizens' rights
the cultivation of virtue among citizens should be the primary role of law
