Political theorist: The chief foundations of all governments are the legal system and the police force; and as there cannot be a good legal system where the police are not well paid, it follows that where the police are well paid there will be a good legal system. The reasoning in the argument is not sound because it fails to establish that ['many governments with bad legal systems have poorly paid police forces', 'a well-paid police force is sufficient to guarantee a good legal system', 'some bad governments have good legal systems', 'a well-paid police force cannot be effective without a good legal system']
