...And Justice for All

1896 U.S. Supreme Court case, Plessy v. Ferguson, made facilities and schools separate based on race. In another case in 1954, Brown v.

Though rape is an atrocious crime, it does not in any case compare to murder, for “murder necessarily results in the physical death of the victim while rape does not” (pg, 512).

Theory of Justice ‘Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others.
