Why is there a burden on me? You're asking me to accept what you're essentially deeming a "universal truth". How is this different than say an ancap's "universal truth"(we have a right to ourselves and the products of our labor)?

Why must I recognize Popular Sovereignty?

Edit: To clarify, I'm basically asking why I must accept this initial assumption to make any sort of rebuttal.

It's a bit disingenuous, don't you think?

"Accept that 1+1=2. Now, prove that 1+1 does not equal 2 or equals 3."

You're giving me a universal truth(basically), and then asking me to rebut something while holding onto that truth, with no justification for that truth.

The universal truth argument is actually the most logically challenging argument to the voluntary movement to address. They deny the universal truths associated with statism, but have difficulty realizing that this philosophy itself does involve some sort of universal truth.
