a set of laws that outlines the rights of citizens and the duties of government |
international recognition and law |
recognition of the right of rulers to govern |

In recent times, if elections are fairly conducted, election outcomes result in claims to legitimacy even though dictators also use them and often conduct them in a questionable manner to justify their rule as legitimate. In democracies, public opinion can eventually determine legitimacy.
The correct answer is E.

- Liberalism is concerned with order. This order is law.
- The liberal always divides the world into three: into what is intrinsically necessary (the self), what is necessary to support that intrinsic necessity (a system of standards, rules, laws), and what is contingent (everything else, including all other beliefs, practices, and institutions).
- In liberalism the relation between one self and another is contingent, not constitutive; and it is law which enables the freedom of separate selves to co-exist.
- According to the liberal, whatever we want to achieve in the world can only be judged in terms of the fact that the fundamental debt is the one owed to freedom.
- The pure thought of liberalism is that only freedom has infinite credit: everything else is an instrument of that credit, and is in debt in relation to this credit.
Which of the above statements are true?
1-2-5 |
2-3-4 |
1-2-3 |
2-3-5 |
3-4-5 |
Liberalism is the fundamental form of modern ideology because of the apparently simplicity of its criterion. The direct appeal to the self, especially the reason of that self (whether understood as rationality or reasonableness), is what made enlightenment possible. It also explains why the liberal is usually far clearer in argument than the socialist or the conservative.
The pure thought of liberalism is that only the self has infinite credit: everything else is an instrument of that credit, and is in debt in relation to this credit.
According to the liberal, whatever we want to achieve in the world can only be judged in terms of the fact that the fundamental debt is the one owed to the self.
Thus, liberalism relies on the debt owned to the self. Freedom, highlighted in statements 4 and 5, does not constitute the basis of liberalism.
The correct answer is C.
