 The second feature commonly ascribed to political obligations is that they are typically conceived of as being owed only to the particular political/legal society that claims primary or exclusive jurisdiction over a person. Following John Simmons’s influential analysis, this has come to be known as “the particularity requirement.” Political obligation, Simmons maintains, carries an implicit connection to citizenship, which means that those who are engaged in the political obligation debate “are only interested in those moral requirements [including obligations and duties] which bind an individual to one particular political community, set of institutions, etc.” (1979, p. 31; but cf. Edmundson 2004, p. 232, and Walton, 2013). As indicated below, in §4.4, the main objection to natural duty theories of political obligation is that they cannot account for this particularity.
