I want them to read the laws of course! I never said they shouldn’t.
Then you haven’t thought your proposal through.
How many pages of laws do you think can a “regular citizen” read and understand per day? Especially if the people writing the laws have an incentive to not make it obvious what their law does and sometimes hide it issues in obscure paragraphs because they aren’t the people voting on the law?
Do you think that your system will only pass that many pages of law?
They must be in the normal range for intelligence, with a cut off on the low end, pick an IQ point like 75 or 80 based on a running average and some fixed standard deviation away from that average. Severe intellectual disabilities such as down-syndrome or psychosis can be initially excluded from the selection pool so that they are not constantly being screened out. I mean severe when I meant severe, something everyone could agree upon.
You still fail to describe a process which makes the decision about who’s allowed and who isn’t and who is in power of controlling the process.
If you write an IQ test you can write it in a way that women score a bit more or a bit less. You probably can also write it in a way that people with a high degree of openness to experience score better.
