A Society Regulated By A Public Sense

Ideally Citizens Are To Think Of Themselves As If They Were Legislators And Ask Themselves What Statutes, Supported By What Reasons Satisfying The Criterion Of Reciprocity, They Would Think Is Most Reasonable To Enact.

Citizens Can Have Their Own Grounding In Their Comprehensive Doctrines, Whatever They Happen To Be.

Ideal Legislators Do Not Vote Their Interests.

Liberal Constitutional Democracy Is Supposed To Ensure That Each Citizen Is Free And Equal And Protected By Basic Rights And Liberties.

No One Deserves His Greater Natural Capacity Nor Merits A More Favorable Starting Place In Society.
