In the early 1970s John Rawls uses the tradition of social contract as the basis for creating an imagined group that must decide on the rules of justice behind a "veil of ignorance." It is Rawls' contention that people will generate just rules if for no other reason than to protect themselves should fate place them at the bottom of the social ladder. Ronald Dworkin argues that no government is legitimate unless it is egalitarian, each citizen an equal partner in the collective enterprise of self government. To give everyone a fair chance in life, Rawls favored individual rights over other values that might emerge from society.
