formalised in order to avoid free-riding problems. Precisely as a liberal state has the legitimate power to make its citizens pay taxes and serve injuries, it can stimulate its citizens to vote in democratic elections. Since it does not impose a specific conception of the good life that is not shared by all reasonable citizens, this is
perfectly consistent with the liberal aim to design rules that enable members of a society to live together
in mutual respect for each other as free and equal human beings. (220)
