John Rawls Quotes

Perhaps The Most Obvious Political Inequality Is The Violation Of The Precept One Person One Vote. Yet Until Recent Times Most Writers Rejected Equal Universal Suffrage. Indeed, Persons Were Not Regarded As The Proper Subjects Of Representation At All. Often It Was Interests That Were To Be Represented, With Whig And Tory Differing As To Whether The Interest Of The Rising Middle Class Should Be Given A Place Alongside The Landed And Ecclesiastical Interests. For Others It Is Regions That Are To Be Represented, Or Forms Of Culture, As When One Speaks Of The Representation Of The Agricultural And Urban Elements Of Society. At The First Sight, These Kinds Of Representation Appear Unjust. How Far They Depart From The Precept One Person One Vote Is A Measure Of Their Abstract Injustice, And Indicates The Strength Of The Countervailing Reasons That Must Be Forthcoming.119
