    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Owning a capacity differs from having unlimited exercise rights—capacity ownership can justify limiting use.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Most liberty theories accept justified constraints (e.g., imprisonment for crimes) without undermining foundations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The theory survives if constraints respect capacity-ownership; only unrestricted exercise capacity is denied.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Liberty theories ground rights in agents' capacity for autonomous choice and self-governance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If conditions prevent exercising these capacities, the theory fails to protect what justifies liberty itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A theory cannot coherently claim capacities ground rights while permitting their systematic non-exercise.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
