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

The concept of equal treatment under the law also reinforces accountability for all. No one is above the law, regardless of their power, wealth, or influence. This principle is essential for maintaining a just society where leaders and public officials can be held accountable for their actions. When the law applies universally, it deters corruption and abuse of power, as individuals understand that they will face consequences for their actions, just like everyone else.
