  All three types of theories must address satisfactorily what may be called the problem of authentic voice. For ascriptivist and remedial right only theories, this means providing a reasoned answer to the question “what counts as an authentic decision to attempt to secede?” (Is there some nonarbitrary way of specifying what sort of majority is required in favor of secession before it can be said that the group in question has chosen to exercise its right to secede?). Similarly, plebiscitary right theorists must provide a principled account of how large a majority in favor of secession must exist, before it can be said that the right to secede exists.
