It has been said that since people are not equal in their intelligence and character it is unjust for all people to have the same rights. Do you agree?

Absolutely not! Who said this? Let's string him up and hang him from the highest tree! Justice cares not of intelligence or character and only cares about law. It is under the eyes of the law that we are all equal, and this is just. It is, however, unjust to suggest that equality of economics is a right. It is unjust to say equality of intelligence is a right. There are many philosopher's and utopian's who believe that wealth and property are unjust because they lack equality. Equality exists under the law only which is why all species on this planet, no matter where they are, are subject to the law of gravity. It matters not that humans seem smarter than worms, or Bill has a better character than Joe. No matter what the circumstance, all are subject to gravity. The same holds true for such legal concepts as Equality under the Law, All power flows from the People, and All people have the Right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

No, all individuals should have the same inherent rights and freedoms regardless of differences in intelligence or character. Equal rights are essential for promoting fairness, justice, and dignity for all members of society. Such rights should not be based on individual traits or characteristics.
