Comparison between Tenants of Democracy and the Realities of Slavery
The individuals of a nation are all reflected and offered equality under the law in a representative democracy. Still, many democratic governments all around the globe were supported by the slave system, which is counter to this equitable framework. Whenever a human being is treated as a transactional object, they are considered a property that can be purchased, auctioned, or marketed at the seller's discretion. Slavery is a peculiar type of conflict in that it is often viewed as a two-sided dispute involving two sides with legitimate grievances. Slavery has been described differently in the context of slavery, as a fight between "the most unrelenting despotism on one side [by slave traders] and abject acquiescence on the other (by slaves)." This paper seeks to compare the tenants of democracy and the realities of slavery.
Slavery's emergence as a standardized framework for nations populating the New World casts the system in a negative light. Contemporary democracies have, for the most part, abandoned this approach (Laski, 14). Still, several bear respect and gratitude to the thousands of individuals who endured at the hands of some to establish the groundwork for the contemporary age. As these ancient democracies grew, several people saw the inconsistency of maintaining slavery in a government that deems all men equals. They took measures to "in some degree curb the spread of this tremendous moral and political atrocity."
In ethical theory, the idea of freedom is highly significant, especially in discussions of independence and inalienable rights. Law ruled both divine and earthly matters according to Enlightenment ideals, and law gave the monarch his authority instead of the king's authority providing law authority (Laski, 15). Personal freedom as an essential truth, provided by "Nature and Nature's God," which, in an ideal society, will be as broad as feasible, took center stage. Therefore, according to Enlightenment theorists, a free person is most liberated within the framework of a state that offers steadiness throughout its laws.
Social equality relates to the social situation in which all members of a society or restricted minority have equal stature under certain areas. Equal legal rights, such as fair opportunities to public goods and services, security, freedom of opinion and assembly, voting rights, and property ownership, should all be included in social parity (Laski, 15). It could, nevertheless, comprise economic equity principles like entrance to health care, education, and other social safety. Since social parity includes equal rights and choices, it touches society. The absence of lawfully mandated socioeconomic status or caste obstacles and unjustified prejudice driven by an intrinsic element of a particular personality is vital for equality.
While no commonly acknowledged description of "democracy" exists, freedom and equality have long been recognized as essential elements of democracy. All individuals are legally equal and have fair opportunities for government activities, reflecting these ideas (Laski, 16). In a representative democracy, for instance, every vot...
