 In section  3,  we then turn to the critics of enactment, posing the question “What can be said against enactment of a social minimum?” We consider three sets of objections that appeal respectively to the values of individual freedom, fairness, and legitimacy. Although the objections do not seem to refute the case for enacting a social minimum, some are helpful in thinking about the form the social minimum should take and about the political procedures surrounding its enactment. Section  4  offers a brief conclusion to our discussion.
