 Related views, such as Gilbert’s (2018), explain the normativity of agreements by interpreting them as joint commitments and ground rights in actual joint commitment. These views also offer a ready explanation of why those deemed to have the rights do have them, but they do not correlate rights with capacities. If such views were to ground rights in hypothetical joint commitments, they could explain why those possessing the sophisticated cognitive capacities required to make joint commitments would have the rights.
