Ultimately, questions about whether a group may exercise power come down to questions about jurisdictional boundaries, representation, and the responsibilities of third parties. mechanism-based worries speak to a third-person perspective; why they offer a more plausible basis for arguments that preserve the pre-eminence of institutions encompassing the and population of state as guarantors of moral equality At the end of the day, however, worries about decision-nisms are worries about whether a group’s boundaries for the decisions over which they seek control, and whether that are presented to outsiders as binding on a group’s fact to be treated as so. These are worries about legitimacy and representation: about what makes social decision making binding and how we allocate power and jurisdiction.
