Rawls favors an emphasis on rights of ______ rather than the means.

A) criminals
B) the upper class
C) the lower class
D) individuals

Rawls argues for focusing on the rights and liberties of individuals rather than primarily emphasizing economic or material means, such as wealth or income. This is because he believes that individuals have fundamental rights that should be protected and given equal consideration, regardless of their social or economic status. Rawls also argues that focusing on means alone can lead to a neglect of important principles of justice in society, such as fairness and equality.
