Legitimacy(as what the argument is discussing whether democracy or autocracy can possess): The quality of being rightfully in power; when people accept that a government has the right to rule.
Minorities (in this context)(as used in political philosophy): Groups of people with less political or social power whose interests or identities differ from the majority in some important way.
Moral standing(as what should determine who deserves compensation or rights): The quality of having a legitimate claim or right to something based on ethical principles; being the kind of person who has a valid reason to demand something as fair or just.
Persistently excludes(as used in political philosophy): Repeatedly and regularly leaves a group out of decisions or benefits in a way that becomes a pattern over time.
