Economic disparities often translate into disparities in political influence, rendering political liberties less worthy to poor citizens than to wealthier ones. Concerned with this, Rawls advocated that a guarantee of the fair value of political liberties be included in the first principle of justice as fairness, with significant regulatory and distributive implications. He nonetheless supplied little examination of the content and grounding of such guarantee, which we here offer. After examining three uncompelling arguments in its favor, we complete a more promising yet less explored argument that builds on the value of self-respect. We first inspect the conditions and duties that securing self-respect entails. We then look into how uneven allocations of the value of political liberties bear, expressively and due to the power imbalances they yield, on such conditions and duties.

选票和钱包：自尊和政治自由的公允价值

经济差距通常会转化为政治影响力的差距，这使得政治自由对穷人的价值不如对富人的价值。考虑到这一点，罗尔斯主张将政治自由的公平价值保证作为公平纳入第一正义原则，具有重要的监管和分配意义。尽管如此，他几乎没有对我们在此提供的此类保证的内容和依据进行审查。在审查了支持它的三个没有说服力的论点之后，我们完成了一个更有希望但较少探索的论点，它建立在自尊的价值之上。我们首先检查确保自尊所需要的条件和职责。然后我们研究政治自由价值的分配不均是如何承受的，
