more than uneducated..? ... people's votes. Do you agree with this? Why or why not? Mill based this claim on the fact that educated people tend to make better intellectual decision than uneducated people. He also believed that educated people were less prone to manipulation from the masses.

Important note: JS Mill did not say that uneducated people should not be allowed to vote but rather the votes of the educated people should be regarded as more valuable.
