If two people get different punishment for the same offence only because of social status, what would it be called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Unequal and arbitrary treatment

Correct answer: A, unequal and arbitrary treatment. The rule of equality before law requires that people not receive different legal treatment merely because one has higher social status. First compare the facts: the offence is the same, but the punishment changes only because of status. That status-based difference has no relevant connection with the offence, so it is arbitrary and unfair. B is wrong because equal justice requires impartial application of law, not privilege for an influential person. C is wrong because reasonable classification must have a relevant and rational basis connected with the legal purpose; social prestige alone is not such a basis here. D is unrelated because different punishment is not social service. Memory cue: same offence plus status-based privilege equals inequality before law.
