Prof: Government by consent
will equalize conditions for all
By Ronnie Calhoun
Reporter
Government by consent will dis
courage great concentration of
wealth and power and ensure an
open and competitive economy, a
visiting professor from the Univer
sity of North Carolina in Chapel Hill
told A&M students Thursday at a
conference.
The conference was sponsored by
the Department of Philosophy and
Humanities.
Another benefit of government
by consent, he said, is that it allows
citizens to enjoy equality of opportu
nity.
Bernard Boxill said the consent
theory is thought of as a theory of
political obligation because the peo
ple have consented to the govern
ment.
The problem with consent is that
few people actually have consented,
he said. Consent can take a variety of
forms, he said, including words, si
lence and hand signals.
“What makes them consent is that
they all mean T consent,’ ” Boxill
said. “One can approve of some
thing but not consent or be in a posi
tion to consent and others may easily
misjudge what others are ready to
do.”
Boxill told the small audience that
several conditions are necessary for
a person to make a sign of consent:
• The context must make it clear
to the person who is consenting that
he is consenting. A full account of
the proposal must be available and
he must be capable of understand
ing the proposal and have ample
time and opportunity to understand.
This condition emphasizes that con
sent only can be given knowingly, he
said.
• A person shouldn’t be coerced
into making a sign of consent. Boxill
said coercion involves threatening a
person with harm if he fails to agree.
• A person must not be com
pelled to make a sign of consent.
Compulsion does not involve
threats. Boxill said a person may be
compelled when he is unable to
make a sign of consent. There are
two kinds of compulsion, he said,
which occur when someone compels
a person to consent either intention
ally or inadvertently and when no
one causes the compulsion.
• A person must not be drivJ
misfortune to make a signofcoi
to proposals that take unfair ai
tage of his misfortune. Boxill
vided an example using a n
boat and a swimmer. Someoi
the boat could ask the swi
turn over his life savings if
wanted to be rescued. Because
are no other rescue boats in the.
the swimmer is at a situational if
vantage.
“Several conditions havetobe
before consent is valid," he
“Basic liberties and conditions!
secured for all. If conditions are
fied, then government must seel;
widest possible consent toils
