Like liberty, equality is one of the most important concepts of political thought. The French Declaration of Rights of 1789 proclaimed that “Men are born, and always continue to be free and equal in respect of their rights.” The American Declaration of Independence said the same thing earlier in these words, “We hold this truth to be self-evident that all men are created equal”. The popular meaning attached to the term equality is that all men are equal and all should be entitled to the same treatment, and have an equal amount of income or wealth. It means that they get identity of treatment.<\/p>
