Rawls does not pretend to identify the totality of ______ that would satisfy the demands of the basic structure of society.

A) morals
B) principles
C) equality
D) justice

Rawls presents two principles of justice, the first being the principle of equal basic liberties for all individuals and the second being the difference principle, which states that any social and economic inequality must be arranged so as to benefit the least advantaged members of society. While these two principles form the basis of Rawls’ conception of justice, he acknowledges that they may not encompass all possible principles that would satisfy the demands of a just society. Therefore, Rawls does not claim to have identified the totality of principles.
