if you agree with equality, then you follow the ideology of Thomas Hobbes: all humans are naturally entitled to everything, and that when two humans try to assert their right to the same thing, conflicts ensue. The result is a state of nature in which every individual becomes a judge of what is right based on their own beliefs. The only solution that will allow humans to co-exist peacefully is for humans to agree to relinquish nearly all of those natural rights, on the condition that everyone else do so as well. In order to ensure that everyone plays nice, a Sovereign, which can be either an individual or an assembly, has to be given enough power to browbeat people back into line. As soon as people agree to follow the rules laid down in this social contract, they are free to assert their right to whatever they can, within that framework. Not everyone has to agree, but as soon as a majority signs up, the rest will follow, either by application of carrot or by application of stick. And considering the alternative is a life that is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short, most people will agree.
