, Question 1
What is the basis for the distinction between socio-economic rights on the one hand and civil
and political rights on the other? (3)
Basis for the distinction between socio-economic rights and civil and political rights
The distinction between socio-economic rights and civil and political rights is based on the
nature of the rights and the obligations they impose on the state.
Socio-economic rights are concerned with ensuring individuals' well-being and access to basic
needs such as education, healthcare, housing, and social security. These rights are often seen as
positive obligations on the state to provide resources and services to its citizens.
Civil and political rights, on the other hand, focus on protecting individual freedoms and
liberties, such as the right to freedom of speech, assembly, and the right to vote. These rights
are considered negative obligations on the state, meaning that the state is obligated to refrain
from interfering with these rights.
Question 2
What is the difference between formal equality and substantive equality? (2)
Formal equality refers to the principle that all individuals should be treated equally under the
law, regardless of their characteristics or circumstances. It emphasizes equal treatment and
non-discrimination based on factors such as race, gender, or religion. Formal equality ensures
that everyone has the same legal rights and opportunities.
Substantive equality, on the other hand, goes beyond formal equality and aims to address
underlying inequalities and disadvantages. It recognizes that treating everyone the same may
not result in equal outcomes due to existing social, economic, and historical disadvantages.
