“Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition, and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery. Equality of rights is a peculiar feature of democracies. These rights are properly divided into civil and political, though even these definitions are not to be taken as absolute, or as literally exact.” MenMayLawIndividualSocialCommunityClassRightsConditionsMilitaryDutyCivilizationEqualPrivilegeAbsenceCivil RightsDefinedDependentBelongingDividedEstatesTaxationJuryLiableImmunityImpositionMilitary ServiceExemptionJury Duty Author:James F.
