Turning to the first of those: the nature of the right's reduction. The right to vote, which sometimes we express as a responsibility to vote for those who are able to do so, is, of course, specifically geared to effecting the election of those who make laws for this country. And so it is that there is an argument around the disregarding of laws already duly made by those already duly elected at previous elections. The disregarding of those laws by those who are now incarcerated reduces the moral claim—if not necessarily the legal claim, which we'll get to in a moment—of those who are imprisoned, having already opted out, at least to some extent, of a system whereby they contribute as members of the democracy, voting to install into this place people who make laws and then follow those laws.
