 Questions of substantive responsibility arise when we must decide who will bear what burdens. “To hold a person who has ended up burdened to be substantively responsible for that burden is to hold it to be hers to bear, ceteris paribus. No one owes it to her to share or alleviate it.” (Kumar 2015, p. 252) Kumar explains the contractualist account of substantive responsibility as follows. “A person who ends up burdened is substantively responsible for it if no one owed it to her to do more to enable her to avert it. To hold her not to be wronged in ending up burdened just is to hold her to be substantively responsible for it. The reasons that are relevant to the justification of why she is not wronged are those that establish that she has good reason to want what happens to her in that type of situation to depend on how she responds to alternatives, and that enough was done to secure that dependence.” (Kumar 2015, p. 253)
