Quote by Aristotle

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal

Summary

This quote by Aristotle highlights the foundational principle of democracy â€“ the belief that equality extends beyond specific aspects and encompasses the overall freedom and rights of individuals. In a democratic society, the idea is that if people are considered equal in any one aspect, it should apply to all aspects. This concept embraces the notion that all individuals should have equal opportunities, equal voice, and equal treatment. Therefore, by claiming absolute equality, democracy strives to create a system where everyone is valued and has the same level of importance and worth.
