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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Not all coercive institutions generate equal obligations; distinguishing which ones do requires prior moral principles beyond institutional participation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Citizens depend on state institutions for basic rights and goods in ways non-citizens don't, making citizenship a deeper ground for obligation than mere coercion.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The theory struggles to specify which global institutions trigger obligations and at what threshold, making practical application indeterminate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Coercive institutions impose binding rules that constrain freedom, creating special moral responsibility toward those affected by those rules.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Citizenship is contingent and exclusionary, while institutional participation is the actual ground of interdependence and mutual obligation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Global institutions (trade regimes, financial systems, military alliances) coerce billions, yet citizenship-based views deny them distributive claims.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
