Rawls acknowledges that inequities are inevitable in society, but he tries to justify them by es-tablishing a system in which everyone benefits, especially the least advantaged. This is an attempt to address the inequalities that result from birth, natural endowments, and historic circumstances. The other choices relate to libertarianism.
