    1 perspective
    Reason for

      ?

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The three associational rights are liberty-rights (Hohfeldian privileges) that impose no duty on others to create conditions for their exercise.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, formally possessing rights of exclusion, exit, and autonomy is compatible with being structurally unable to benefit from any of them.

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Cohen and Kymlicka show that cultural membership is a prerequisite for meaningful agency, yet no individual right guarantees access to such membership.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A right against interference (negative liberty) does not entail a positive entitlement to the social goods that give that right its value—Berlin's distinction between liberty and the conditions of liberty confirms this.
