There is, however , another side to justifying a particular description of the original position.This is to see if the principles which would be chosen match our considered convictions of the justice or extend them in an acceptable way. we can note whether applying these principles would lead us to make the same judgments about the basic structure of society which we now make intuitively and in which we have the greatest confidence; whether, in cases where our present judgments are in doubt and given with hesitation, these principles offer a resolution which we can affirm on reflection. there are question which we feel sure must be answered in a certain way. for example, we are confident that religious intolerance and racial discrimination are unjust. we think that we have examined these thing with care and have reached what we believe is an impartial judgement not likely to be distorted by an excessive attention to our own interests.these convictions are provisional fixed points which we presume any conception of justice must fit. but we have much less assurance as to what is the correct distribution of wealth and authority. here we may be looking for a way to remove our doubts. we can check an interpretation of the initial situation, then, by the capacity of its principles to accommodate our firmest convictions and to provide guidance where guidance is needed.
