In a democratic country, everybody is equal before the law. Justify the statement.
Answers
Answer:
It should be “Equal in the eye of law” or “equal for law”
We all know everyone have the equal rights in democracy or in a democratic country apart from the discrimination of caste, creed, sex, religion, colour etc.
All have the same rights therefore it can be said that everybody is equal in the eye of law as the democracy or law doesn't discriminate among citizens.
It can also be said that everyone is equal for law cause law doesn't let go off a criminal biasly. Law is unbiased ( the corrupt lawyers and officers are exceptions) so don't consider that in law cause it's also a crime in the eyes of law.
In last I wanna say if your statement “Equal before the law” is absolutely correct then pardon me cause I don't know the context of that one.
But I don't think the statement is correct, cause if this statement is correct then it means everyone was equal in the democratic country before the law and when law enforcement happened then everyone didn't remained equal while law enforcement are totally for the sake of human beings and of the country.
Equality before the law, also known as equality under the law, equality in the eyes of the law, legal equality, or legal egalitarianism, is the principle that each independent being must be treated equally by the law (principle of isonomy) and that all are subject to the same laws of justice (due process).[1] Therefore, the law must guarantee that no individual nor group of individuals be privileged or discriminated against by the government. Equality before the law is one of the basic principles of liberalism.[2][3] This principle arises from various important and complex questions concerning equality, fairness and justice. Thus, the principle of equality before the law is incompatible and ceases to exist with legal systems such as slavery, servitude.
