| Sumario: | One of the most important objections to contemporary democracies claims
that although citizens have the same political rights, that equality is merely
formal. Since the objection has considerable normative appeal, it would seem
that trade-offs between political equal resources and a better economic
distribution should be acceptable. The objective of this article is proving that
these trade-offs would be unreasonable because formal political equality has
a specific expressive meaning that cannot be expressed through other means.
The argument defended here is contractualist and it affirms that the value of
this formal dimension is that it expresses in a single and unique way the
moral equality of persons and that it shows the due respect for the capacity
for a sense of justice of the citizens. |
