When answering this question, you must discuss at least two political philosophies we studied this semester. You want to get those philosophies into a conversation, in which you compare and contrast the answers to this question they provide. Ultimately, take a side — side with one political philosophy over the other. This means you need to provide reasons for thinking the answer provided by one political philosophy is the correct answer, and why the answer provided by the other is incorrect.
