    • Abstract:
      The author responds to a review by Corey Brettschneider of his book "The Constitution of Equality: Democratic Authority and Its Limits" that was published in the issue. He discusses Brettschneider's comments regarding whether social association or citizenship form a stronger basis for political participation. He suggests that an anti-egalitarian majority which has no power to create legislation promoting its views could still jeopardize egalitarianism in a democratic society by promoting a hostile environment for minority groups and that such actions would justify limitations on the rights of the majority by the government.
