John Rawls

John Rawls was a famous philosopher who wanted to make sure that everyone in a society got the same chances and rights. He believed that everyone should be treated fairly, no matter their age, race, or gender. He argued that things like money and education should be shared equally. He also said that governments should try to help those in need and protect everyone’s basic rights, such as freedom of speech and the right to vote. Rawls wanted to make sure that people had equal opportunities and could make decisions without being judged.
