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

It means that every person, from the President of the country to a normal person has to obey the same laws. No person can be discriminated against on the basis of their religion, race, caste, etc.

Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds, hotels, shops, and markets.

Equality is the soul of democracy. We know that democracy is a form of government which gives equal importance and recognition to all. If inequalities on the basis of race, religion, caste, etc. continue to exist, democracy would never flourish. Instead, it would perish very soon.
