    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Rights derive legitimacy from principles applicable to all rational agents without exception or arbitrary distinction.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Private property inherently creates exclusion: only owners can use/transfer property, systematically denying non-owners access.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If a right cannot be universalized to all persons, it fails the categorical requirement and becomes mere privilege or license.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Universalizability requires applying a principle consistently in relevantly similar cases, not that everyone simultaneously possesses identical rights.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Property rights are universalizable because everyone could hold some property; that not all hold all property reflects scarcity, not the right's structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Many legitimate rights create exclusion: free speech excludes non-speakers' control of your utterances; voting excludes non-citizens.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
