Equal Respect, Accountability, and Democracy

What justifies democracy? Recently, some philosophers have argued that because an unequal distribution of political power would necessarily lead to an objectionable hierarchy, democratic institutions and procedures are required for social relations of equality. On one construal of this argument, unequal political power is objectionably hierarchical because it embodies a widespread inegalitarian judgement. But this version of the argument fails to show that unequal political power is always objectionable, nor does it capture the reason-giving authority of democratic decisions. In this thesis, I draw on relational egalitarianism to argue that persons’ moral equality specifically demands relations of equal respect, which excludes relations in which some are treated as having greater fundamental authority than others. Such an account, I argue further, can show why unequal political power will necessarily constitute an objectionable hierarchy and can better capture the authority of democratic decisions

\u3ci\u3eEdge v. State\u3c/i\u3e: The Modified Merger Rule Comes Up Short

In Edge v. State, the Supreme Court of Georgia held that a verdict convicting a defendant of voluntary manslaughter and felony murder based in the underlying felony of aggravated assault was improper. The court reasoned that because the jury found Edge guilty of voluntary manslaughter, malice did not exist and therefore, could not be transferred to support a felony murder conviction. Regrettably, the supreme court failed to adopt the merger rule. However, the court adopted a modified merger rule that precludes a conviction for felony murder when a conviction would prevent the jury from an otherwise proper finding of voluntary manslaughter
