Obligation and consent.
It is often supposed, as in Professor Kluge's article (1), that one can only acquire an obligation by free consent. This paper argues that although this is true of some types of obligation, including the ones discussed by Professor Kluge, it is by no means true of all.

متن کاملObligation Rules
We provide a characterization of the obligation rules in the context of minimum cost spanning tree games.

Moreover we provide a necessary and sufficient condition on obligation function such that the corresponding obligation r...
