“Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as
truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be
rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter
how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are
unjust. 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. It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed
by the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by many. Therefore in a just society
the liberties of equal citizenship are taken as settled; the rights secured by
justice are not subject to political bargaining or to the calculus of social
interests.”
