To answer this question we have to ask ourselves, for what purpose a group deliberates? Why not let one person, wise and well accepted make group decisions by himself?
 
Deliberation is only one method of group decision making. There are many way to make decisions. there are a dictatorship, or majority voting, or debating. When we use deliberation, in what way is it better then these options and others?
 
 
The legitimecy of a system of deliberation and [[decision making]], depend on it's efficiency in promoting long-term prosperty of the members of the group. A good system will be a one that need low investment of resources by the citizens in the act of decision making and achieve fast decisions and yeald decisions that enable larger parts of the populations to flourish.
