Quotes by Philip Pettit (?)

“To have a degree of control over a result two things are essential. First, you must have some influence over the process leading to the result. And second, you must use that influence to impose a relevant direction on the process, helping to ensure that a suitable result transpires.”
― Philip Pettit, On the People's Terms: A Republican Theory and Model of Democracy

“The social justice question is: does the state treat its citizens well and equally in selecting the order that it imposes? The political legitimacy question is: does the state treat its citizens well and equally in the way it imposes that order?”
― Philip Pettit, On the People's Terms: A Republican Theory and Model of Democracy
