Short answer is probably:
- Rules and laws protect unfair treatment by placing consequences on actions that would be seen as unfair. It holds people to a standard of avoiding that act or else punishment will occur.
-Unfortunately though, not all people are judged the same. Things such as bribery, an unfair judgment, bias, and other evading techniques occur more than you would think, and it means that some people who deserve consequences for their actions may get lesser or avoid those consequences completely.
Hope this helps! :)
