Effecting Political Equality: A Moral Dilemma

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the idea of equality, specifically political equality in a number of different contexts. First, its historical foundations, those directly relevant to the American situation. Second, its institutionalization into the American political value structure. And third, a particularly disturbing context, its being challenged as a means of correcting social injustice. This paper will attempt to demonstrate the complexity of the question 'How do we effect social equality and assure social equity?'
