स्वतन्त्रता एवं समानता के बीच संबंधों की चर्चा कीजिए।
Answers
Answer:
Liberty can simply be defined as the freedom of individuals. It denotes the freedom that an individual has, to speak, think and act as he or she wants to.
Equality is treating everyone in the same manner, according to same standards.
Explanation:
Liberty and Equality are closely related to each other. There is no value of liberty in the absence of equality. They are the same conditions viewed from different angles. They are the two sides of the same coin. Though there is a close relationship between liberty and equality, yet there are some political thinkers who do not find any relationship between liberty and equality. For example, Lord Acton and De Tocqueville who were the ardent advocates of liberty, found no relationship between the two conditions.
To them liberty and equality were antagonistic and antithetical to each other. Lord Acton maintains that “The passion for equality made vain the hope for liberty”. Such political thinkers maintain that where there is liberty, there is no equality and vice versa. These political thinkers are of the opinion that people were conferred inequality by nature. We find inequality in nature also.
