 Weithman (2011) argues that Rawls’s changing ideal of stability drove revisions to his theory. Rawls wanted his political principles to reach stability in a diverse society despite reasonable pluralism. In some ways, concerns about stability are a reason to care about public justification. A community may only reach moral stability, that is, stability for the right reasons if each person has moral reason to endorse society’s coercive power. Otherwise, stability rests on a balance of power alone—a modus vivendi regime.
