The Idea Of Public Reason

Liberal Constitutional Democracy Is Supposed To Ensure That Each Citizen Is Free And Equal And Protected By Basic Rights And Liberties.

The Idea Of Public Reason Has To Do With How Questions Should Be Decided, But It Doesn't Tell You What Are The Good Reasons Or Correct Decisions.

People Can Make Arguments From The Bible If They Want To. But I Want Them To See That They Should Also Give Arguments That All Reasonable Citizens Might Agree To.

Ideally Citizens Are To Think Of Themselves As If They Were Legislators And Ask Themselves What Statutes, Supported By What Reasons Satisfying The Criterion Of Reciprocity, They Would Think Is Most Reasonable To Enact.
