Possibility of combining premises

When I worked through this question, I noticed that both premises had the exact same sufficient condition (worthy of respect). I'm wondering if it's possible to simply combine both premises into one: "All governments worthy of respect allow their citizens to dissent from governmental policies. No government worthy of respect leaves minorities unprotected." 1) GWR --> ACD 2) GWR --> PM GWR --> ACD & PM not ACD or not PM --> not GWR Is this valid? If so, is it ever worth it or is it just a waste of time? If not, is it ever valid?
