Egalitarian symbol

Political egalitarianism describes an inclusive and fair allocation of political power or influence, fair processes, and fair treatment of all regardless of characteristics like race, gender, religion, age, wealth or intelligence.[1][2] Political egalitarianism, and its close cousin political equality, are key founding principles and sources of legitimacy for many democracies.[1] Related principles include one person, one vote and equality before the law.[3]

Discussion

Egalitarianism

Egalitarianism denotes the belief that all people are of equal fundamental worth and should have equal status.[2] Egalitarians tend to focus more on process and treating people as social equals than on the raw distribution of power.[4]

Political equality

Political equality is only achieved when the norms, rules and procedures that govern the community afford equal consideration to all.[4] Robert Dahl believes that the ideal of democracy assumes that political equality is desirable.[5] He goes on to argue that political equality and democracy are supported by the inherent intrinsic equal worth of every person (intrinsic equality) and the tendency of concentrated power to corrupt.[6]

Equality before the law

Main article: Equality before the law

Equality before law means that the law applies to all peoples equally and without exceptions. For example, the freedom of speech should apply the same to all members of a society. Laws can sometimes be designed to help minimize unequal application.[7] Well-designed constitutions, for example, can help protect political rights in functioning democracies.[8][9]

List of recoilless rifles

This is a list of recoilless rifles (RCLs) intended to catalogue these lightweight infantry support weapons that allow the firing of a heavier projectile than would be practical with a recoiling artillery gun. Technically, only devices that use a rifled barrel are recoilless rifles. The smoothbore variants (those devoid of rifling) are termed recoilless guns. This distinction is often lost, and both are often called recoilless rifles. Normally used for anti-tank roles, the first effective sy...
