Question

What do you understand by the term “all persons are equal before the law”? Why do you think it is important in a democracy?

Answer 1

By the term “all persons are equal before the law” we understand that the law applies to everyone irrespective of their class, caste or gender and the law expects everyone to treat others as equal. This is important in a democracy so as to preserve the true nature of a democratic society where everyone’s dignity is respected.
