Political Equality: means that everyone is treated in the same way in the political sphere.

This means, among other things, that everyone has the same status under the law
(everyone is entitled to legal representation, for example, and every citizen gets one
vote) and that everyone gets equal treatment under the law.

Human Dignity: The Catechism of the Catholic Church insists the "dignity of the human

person is rooted in his or her creation in the image and likeness of God." "All human
beings," says the Church, "in as much as they are created in the image of God, have
the dignity of a person."
