Hi,

What is the best way to list complete questions in a sentence? Questions that should be read with the upward inflection?

For example:

The Document's inconsistent application and its selective inclusion of concerns raise troublesome questions: how might people determine which ideas should be rules, how should they ascertain which ideas have already become rules, how might authorities determine the content of binding ideas, what rights not mentioned in the Document should be protected, and which of these other rights should have equal footing with rights in the Document.

Is it best to use commas, semicolons, question marks?

I'd say the simplest way to do it is this.

The document's inconsistent application and its selective inclusion of concerns raise troublesome questions. How might people determine which ideas should be rules? How should they ascertain which ideas have already become rules? How might authorities determine the content of binding ideas? What rights not mentioned in the document should be protected? Which of these other rights should have equal footing with rights in the document?

Is there some reason that you need to capitalize 'Document'?

Best wishes, Clive
