    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A person's continued voluntary residence in a territory constitutes tacit consent to obey the laws of the state.

    Normative commitment(as the hidden requirement smuggled into the procedure)

    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)
