fringe on a person's right to privacy. Also, Devlin supports the presumption of individual freedom. This means that individual freedom never has to be justified.

He also states that government cannot treat people unfairly, or differently due to race or gender. According to Dworkin, debate will stop when 1) society reaches a consensus; and 2) one or more parties see the debate as axiomatic or self-evident.
