    It is not the case that When the instrumental link between democracy and nutrition is empirically contested across diverse developmental contexts, the justificatory argument for a universal right collapses.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Rights rest on moral principles (dignity, equality), not instrumental efficacy; empirical outcomes don't determine whether rights exist.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Varied effectiveness of democracy on nutrition reflects implementation quality, not democracy's value; similar variation exists for all institutions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Rights can be justified independently of any single mechanism; nutrition access requires justification separate from democratic accountability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Rights justifications require consistent causal mechanisms across contexts; empirical variability undermines universal validity claims.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If democracy improves nutrition in some contexts but worsens it in others, democracy cannot be the foundational justification for nutrition rights.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Universal rights need universal grounds; contingent instrumental relationships provide only context-specific, not universal, justification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
