In "An Egalitarian Theory of Justice" John Rawls proposes two principles of justice that are to govern the basic structure. These are: (1) Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with a similar liberty for others; (2) Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are Reasonably expected to be to everyone's advantage and attached to positions and offices open to all. According to Rawls what relationship do these principles have to one another

B) The second principle is prior to the first where no economic loss may be justified by a gain in the security of liberty.
C) The two principles are interchangeable where a loss to one may be justified by a gain by another.
D) The two principles are entirely independent and no exchanges may be made between the two principles.
