Justice and Equality

Justice and equality in the context of political obligation refer to the fair treatment of individuals within a society and the duty citizens have to uphold societal rules. Justice ensures that everyone receives what they are due, whether it’s protection, resources, or opportunities, while equality emphasizes that all individuals should have the same rights and access to these benefits. Together, they form the foundation of a fair society, where citizens are expected to contribute to and uphold laws that promote these principles, creating a balanced relationship between individual rights and the common good.
