Abstract:

This paper will address the question of whether or not equality is an intrinsic feature of democracy. Historically, nations desiring more freedom have expressed the need for equality under the law. These desires and struggles appear to correspond with democratic-leaning nations. But are democracies really free—or, is equality under democratic laws synonymous with liberty? And is equality under the law even an aim of those countries that profess to be democratic? These are important questions today, particularly in light of the recent developments toward democracy in the Middle East.
