    Reason against 1 of 2

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If coercive imposition triggers egalitarian justification, then extra-territorial coercion by states generates egalitarian obligations to non-residents.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Limiting egalitarian scope to territory therefore arbitrarily excludes those most severely constrained by state power from its justificatory protections.

    Another view is that the state massively coerces individuals residing within its claimed jurisdiction and does not to the same extent massively coerce those outside its territorial borders. The imposition of this massive coercion on individuals inside a nation is a presumptive violation of their autonomy, which demands a strong justification if state coercion is to be rightly deemed legitimate, morally permissible. It is plausible to suppose the required justification must include acknowledgemen
