 A reason is sufficient when it has some positive epistemic grounds. Some considerations favor it, and none defeat it. Critically, a reason can be sufficient for one member of the public but not others. So, a justifying reason may not justify coercion for all members of the public. A coercive law is only justified when each person has sufficient reason to endorse \(L\). Laws gain public justification by resting on the sufficient reasons of each member.
