Why everyone should be treated equally in the eyes of the law

First and foremost, equality before the law serves as a safeguard against discrimination. Discrimination based on race, gender, socioeconomic status, or any other characteristic undermines the very fabric of justice. When the law applies equally to all, it becomes a powerful tool for combating injustice and ensuring that marginalized voices are heard. This creates a more inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in civic life without fear of prejudice.
