Natural human equality is the foundation of justice.
Natural human equality is a foundational principle for a free and just regime.
It is true that “all men are created equal,” as stated in the Declaration of Independence, because the word “men” is synonymous with “humankind” and every human being is, in fact, equally human.
– No human being is more or less human than any other human being.
– Human beings are compound beings: part instinct and appetite, part reasoning, free-thinking mind capable of making choices for oneself. Every human being has the natural right to govern himself; in this important respect, each human being is equal to all other human beings.
– No human being is a god or a beast. That is why it is wrong to treat some people as if they’re gods (in the case of kings) and others as if they’re beasts (in the case of slaves).
Monarchy and slavery are wrong for the same reason: They’re both violations of natural human equality. Each and every human being is equal to all other human beings in that each and every person has the same unalienable natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as all other persons, everywhere.
