Keep going with this, anyway.

So, next section in the Agreement? This one was about ‘equality of all persons before the law’.

Took us another few centuries, again, but we’re sort-of getting there, I guess: kind of ‘two steps forward, one step back’?

It’s a lot better now than it was in the eighteenth century – no doubt about that. ‘Equality before the law’ might even be almost true in practice now for some important things, such as murder and the like.

For just about anything else, though, no, it’s still a long way from equal, even now. Inequality of access to the law, if nothing else.

And for anything about property and money, it’s still very much ‘one law for the rich, another for the poor’. Four hundred years, almost, and we still haven’t even started to sort that one out.

Kind of pathetic, really.
