Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The view of ignorance requires people in the original position to be impartial, as they are unaware of their own personal characteristics, beliefs, and circumstances. This lack of knowledge about themselves leads them to make decisions that would benefit everyone in society, not just themselves. Therefore, bias and forgiveness play no role in the original position, and it is not necessarily difficult to come to an agreement, as long as everyone is functioning under the same impartial framework.
