Cevap

Every person is entitled to the same legal protections and must follow the same laws, regardless of their financial status.
The correct answer is that every person is entitled to the same legal protections and must follow the same laws. In Australia, equality before the law means that the courts must remain impartial and apply the law consistently to everyone, ensuring that personal wealth or social status does not result in different legal treatment.

This is the core definition of the value in the Australian legal context.

Distinguishing between 'equal process' and 'equal outcome' is essential for understanding this value.
