AOnly 2
B6 and 7
C2 and 7 ✓ Correct
DOnly 7
Correct answer: (C) 2 and 7 — Items 2 and 7 are not related to Rawls, so the answer is 2 and 7.
Explanation
★Items 2 and 7 are not related to Rawls, so the answer is 2 and 7.
★Rawls gives priority to liberty over equality, the reverse of item 2, through his first principle.
★His first principle secures equal basic liberties before the second principle addresses inequalities.
★Rawls gives priority to individual rights over the common good, the reverse of item 7.
★The difference principle, overlapping consensus and the normative approach are all genuinely Rawlsian.
★He also supports a conception close to the welfare state, allowing inequalities that help the worst off.
★Liberty first, then fair equality of opportunity, then the difference principle is the Rawlsian ordering.
