PrepTest 78, Section 2, Question 24
Families with underage children make up much of the population, but because only adults can vote, lawmakers in democracies pay too little attention to the interests of these families. To remedy this, parents should be given additional votes to cast on behalf of their underage children. Families with underage children would thus receive fair representation.

The argument requires assuming which one of the following principles?
The amount of attention that lawmakers give to a group's interests should be directly proportional to the number of voters in that group.
Parents should not be given responsibility for making a decision on their child's behalf unless their child is not mature enough to decide wisely.
The parents of underage children should always consider the best interests of their children when they vote.
It is not fair for lawmakers to favor the interests of people who have the vote over the interests of people who do not have the vote.
A group of people can be fairly represented in a democracy even if some members of that group can vote on behalf of others in that group.
