Explain whether each statement deals primarily with a Question of Fact, a Question of Value, or a Question of Policy.

Statement: A federal law should be passed requiring the driver's seatbelt to be fastened in order for a car to operate. 

One focus of persuasive speaking is questions of policy, which advocates a change from the status quo, or the way things are today. There is a "should", or at least an implied "should", in the thesis statement. The speaker wants the plan proposed by the speech to become policy. Questions of policy contrast with questions of fact, which state than something is, exists or does not exist, and questions of value, which state that something is good, bad, beautiful, or perhaps worthwhile.
