We hold these truths to be self-evident...~Thomas Jefferson
That only a certain caste of men are created equal. ~Robert Garrett
Throughout history, the principle of equality has been hailed as the cornerstone of legal systems across nations. It is often said that “all men are created equal,” a phrase enshrined in declarations, constitutions, and human rights charters. However, when one delves into the pragmatics of legal frameworks, the unsettling question arises: are only certain men truly created equal in the eyes of the law?
This inquiry is not a matter of mere semantics or rhetoric. It probes the deeper inconsistencies and paradoxes inherent in the application of justice. Are laws written with the intention of impartiality? Societal structures, prejudices, and historical inequities often dictate otherwise. Could you imagine that some laws might be waged as battles against the underprivileged?
