It can still be unethnical to have policies and laws that have 50.001% approval. I agree though that I think the word "coercive" here is a bit confusing.

- shadowgovt 5y agoThis is the perpetual pull between "right" being the will of the people, "right" being the laws we set for ourselves that are placed outside the people's direct control by appeal to some higher ideal (such as a Constitutional government that provides authority to reject laws because they do not align to that Constitution), and "right" being a pure, objective correctness, justice, etc. (that may or may not actually exist). Every society eventually wrestles with these things.
