Equal Basic Liberties for All
Rawls’s concept of equal basic liberties for all means that every individual should have the same fundamental rights and freedoms. These include freedoms like speech, conscience, and assembly, which are considered inviolable and cannot be sacrificed even for greater social or economic gains. This principle serves as a safeguard for individual autonomy and ensures that any societal structure treats everyone with fairness and respect, regardless of their social or economic standing.
