Description: "The twin questions at the heart of political philosophy are "Why may the state forcibly impose itself on its constituents?" and "Why must citizens obey the state's commands?" In Liberal Rights and Responsibilities, Christopher Heath Wellman offers original responses to these fundamental questions and then, building upon these answers, defends a number of distinctive positions concerning the rights and responsibilities individual citizens, separatist groups, and political states have regarding one another." --
