Rawlsian Institutions

Rawlsian institutions are societal structures designed based on philosopher John Rawls's idea of justice. They aim to ensure fairness by creating rules that benefit everyone, especially the least advantaged, as if behind a "veil of ignorance"—without knowing their own social position. This approach encourages impartiality and equality, shaping laws and systems that promote justice, fairness, and equal opportunity for all members of society.
