    1 perspective
    Reason for

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      ?

      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
