Equality Before the Law Clause Samples

The 'Equality Before the Law' clause establishes that all individuals are entitled to the same legal rights and protections, regardless of their status or background. In practice, this means that laws must be applied impartially by courts and authorities, and no person or group can be given preferential or discriminatory treatment under the law. For example, it prevents the creation of laws that favor one group over another or the enforcement of laws in a biased manner. The core function of this clause is to ensure fairness and justice within the legal system by mandating equal treatment for all.
