Equality, equity, equal rights, equal opportunity, fairness and justice, with regard to the Uniting Amendment mean equality under the law. The law and the government must treat each person the same regardless of who they are. It also means that no person may discriminate in connection with a public offer of a product or service, including employment.
Government policies and laws can hinder the inclusion of those who have been historically discriminated against, even when the laws seem to be neutral. For example, ballot access laws and campaign finance rules that favor incumbents and political insiders can make it more difficult for women and minorities to win office. The lack of term limits and gerrymandered districts make fewer positions available for fresh, new office-seekers.
The Uniting Amendment establishes term limits, opens up ballot access, eliminates gerrymandering, and allows for the free flow of political discourse to allow citizens who have not participated in the past to serve their country.
