    "abstract": "People often withdraw previously drawn conclusions in light\nof new information. This defeasible reasoning is also im-\nportant for law, where judges often have to change their ver-\ndicts in light of new evidence. Here we investigate defeasibil-\nity in the context of conflicting fundamental rights. When, for\ninstance, law to property conflicts with law to information,\ncan one of these rights be “defeated” by the other? We em-\nbedded conflicting fundamental rights in inference tasks (Ex-\nperiment 1) and in elaborated vignettes (Experiment 2). Re-\nsults show that people decide between two conflicting funda-\nmental rights in a rational way. Case by case, participants pro-\ntected that fundamental right whose violation evoked the\nhighest moral outrage (Experiment 1) or whose violation was\nconsidered to be more serious (Experiment 2). We discuss the\nimplications of our findings for law theory and psychology.",
