Political egalitarianism
Résumé
A founding principle of many democracies, political egalitarianism prefers less concentrated political power or influence as well as equal and fair treatment of all regardless of characteristics like race, religion, wealth or intelligence. This is expressed in such principles as one person, one vote, equality before the law, and equal rights of free speech.
Political equality is only achieved when the norms, rules and procedures that govern the community afford equal consideration to all. Robert Dahl believes that the ideal of democracy assumes that political equality is desirable. He goes on to argue that political equality and democracy are supported by the inherent intrinsic equal worth of every person (intrinsic equality) and the tendency of concentrated power to corrupt.
Equality before the law
Equality before law means that the law applies to all peoples equally and without exceptions. Laws can sometimes be designed to help minimize unequal application. Well-designed constitutions, for example, can help protect political rights in functioning democracies.
