The fundamental quandary that this text sets out to grapple with is that of construing John Rawls' democratic theory stance. It is of germane stance to accentuate that Rawls deliberates on the issues appertaining to democracy from a justice standpoint as this is lucidly presented in his, A Theory of Justice (1971). Furthermore, it is of extreme import to accentuate the unadorned fact that whenever there is a discussion about justice, a conception of fairness graduates into being implied. Rawls' predilection for justice silhouettes his democratic theory. Owing to this construal, one then can moot a rationalization of Rawls' theory of democracy as that one which is founded on justice, thus, siring a liberal sort of democracy. It is due to this mere fact that this disquisition tackles Rawls' Liberal Democracy and Justice. This notwithstanding, it is pertinent to note that, he further fetches in another notion of Right. Contending from the erstwhile comprehension, it becomes incumbent upon the author to here delve into the discursivities of the theme at hand by averring, Rawls prefers Right to Good in the extant subject matter on issues of democracy.
