When Christiano says that a government or law is an authority, or is authoritative, he means that there is a “content independent” moral reason to do what it says: these are moral reason that exists regardless of what the authority says to do.
You can skip pages 13-15 if you want
1. Christiano talks about the kind of equality he thinks justice is fundamentally concerned with. Compare and contrast this with the sort of equality Hampton and Delmas are concerned with.
2. Christiano thinks that it is not enough that a government or law is just; it must also be seen to be just. Why? Christiano gives several reasons for this. Explain what seems like the best reason, in your own words. (2-3 sentences)
3. Christiano argues that people do not need to consent to the law, or to the authority of state, for a state to be authoritative for them. Why does he think this? (Note: this question is not about why democratic states are authoritative, but rather why authority does not require consent) (1-3 sentences)
4. Christiano argues that equality requires not just giving each citizen an equal vote, but also that each citizen has equal access to the process of discussion and negotiation about political matters. In your opinion, in the United States, does each citizen have equal access to this process? Why or why not (give some evidence to support your view)? (1-3 sentences)
5. Think about what, according to Christiano, makes democratic governments authoritative (other than the stuff you talked about for 4). What would Christiano say about the authority of the U.S. government and law? Explain your answer.
