John Rawls | Justice as Fairness
Rawls builds his theory of justice on the social contract model of earlier philosophers. Two principles of justice addressing equal liberties of citizenship and social and economic equalities, if chosen behind a "veil of ignorance," would lead to a just society. Rawls defines and describes each principle and explains how they work together. In other words, a departure from the first could not be compensated for by an increase based on the second.
-The second principle of justice, for Rawls, holds that inequalities are just only if they result in benefits for everyone and, in particular, for
A) those with wealth and authority.
B) those in the initial state of equality.
C) the most advantaged members of society.
D) the least advantaged members of society.
