What does equal protection mean in the Right to Equality?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Every person gets proper protection of law

The correct answer is A: every person gets proper protection of law. Equal protection does not mean that every case must be handled in an absolutely identical way; it means that people who are similarly placed should be treated alike and that the law must protect everyone fairly. A captures this idea. B is wrong because rights and legal protection cannot be reserved for powerful people. C is wrong because equality requires the fair application of law, not abandoning it. D is wrong because discrimination is the opposite of equal protection. For example, a person facing the same legal wrong as anyone else should be able to seek the same protection from the authorities. Memory cue: equal protection means equal fairness through law, not special protection for the powerful.
