equal protection of the law

Read a random definition: libellus rerum

A quick definition of equal protection of the law:

Equal protection of the law: Everyone should be treated fairly by the law and courts. This means that everyone should have the same access to the law and courts, and be treated the same way in legal procedures and decisions. It's like playing a game where everyone follows the same rules. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says that no state can deny anyone the equal protection of the laws. This applies to things like schools, work, and taxes, where everyone should be treated equally.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The right of all people to be treated equally by the law and courts, both in procedures and in the substance of the law. This means that everyone has the same access to the law and courts, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or any other characteristic. It is an important part of fairness and justice.

Example: In the famous case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, the Supreme Court ruled that separate schools for black and white students were unconstitutional because they were inherently unequal. This means that all students, regardless of their race, should have access to the same quality of education.

Another example: If two people are doing the same job, they should be paid the same amount of money. This is because everyone should be treated equally under the law, and discrimination based on gender or race is not allowed.

These examples illustrate the principle of equal protection of the law. It means that everyone should have the same rights and opportunities, and that the law should be applied fairly to everyone. This is an important part of our democracy and helps to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
