Question

why is equality considered to be the core of democracy

Answer 1

Democracy was born out of the very idea that people, ordinary people should have the right to govern themselves, and choose their own leaders and law markers, instead of Kings, Queens and Lords making all the decisions for them. This is because in a Royal kingdom, the Kind is always above the law, while ordinary people have a very different set of laws.Democracy means that everyone is ruled, governed and even punished on the same law, so no law maker, king is above the law.If people are not punished or abide by the same laws in a government, is not considered a working, stable democracy. There are many such instances all over the world.

Answer 2

democracy is actually by the people , for the people and of the people. but if there is no equality among citizen, some people can only rule and that's not the meaning for democracy. democracy should give a fair chance of equality to each and everyone. hence equality is considered to be the core of democracy.
