"El principio mismo de la libertad y el Contrato Social es una lógica de derechos aplicable a todos los seres humanos sin discriminación."
— John Stuart Mill
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone should have the same basic rights, no matter who they are. Imagine if you and your friends made a deal to share chores equally so everyone benefits; that’s similar to the idea of the Social Contract. In real life, it's like how countries create laws to protect everyone's freedom and rights equally. For example, in many places, the law says everyone has the right to speak freely and live safely. These rights should be the same for everyone, without unfair treatment due to things like race, gender, or religion. By following this idea, we make sure society is fair and everyone is treated with the same respect and opportunities.
