7. Cf. Rawls (n 4), chapter II, whose conception of 'justice as fairness' for defining the basic rights and liberties of free and equal citizens in a constitutional democracy gives priority to maximum equal liberty as 'first principle of justice'. Rawls' 'principle of fair equality of opportunity', and his 'difference principle' for protecting the needs of disadvantaged people, are recognized only as secondary principles necessary for socially just conditions enabling personal self-development for every citizen.
