When the statue of justice wears a blindfold what does it mean?

Answer 1

The image of Lady Justice with a blindfold over her eyes represents the theory of "blind justice;" i.e. that nothing, such as money, influence, fame, etc., should influence a correct judgment. Symbolically, if whomever is deciding your fate can't see you because they're blindfolded, in this case Lady Justice, then they have no choice but to base their decision strictly on facts and thus cast judgment objectively. This theory is wrong. The blindfold is a latecomer and means what anybody wants it to mean. For millennia there was no blindfold. You must consider all the equipment depicted in the lady's surrounding such as the scales, the rumpled clothes, and especially the sword including her seated position on planet earth. I say there should be no blindfold since from the beginning she weighed the evidence with wide open eyes to then use her sword to draw quarts of blood equal to what the culprit drained from the victim so she could enforce the 2nd half of Newton's 3rd law of motion. Remember she is enforcing that law thousands of years before Newton's abstraction of 1687. It was always there but waiting on him to express it in obedience to Occam's Razor of 1350 AD. But you must know that even prior which in the year 0032 AD another man stated at Mathew 2:7 "with what measure ye mete(2nd Law), it shall be measured to you again (3rd Law)." This statement is the first available prestatement of Newton's science of 1687. Here still by statue of prior depiction was art prestating Newton's words still to come. The earliest such statue was about 700 B.C. and was done to impress the universe of onlookers that what the statue depicted was the goal of proceedings taking place as the public watched the head of the clan administer public justice by inflicting equal harm on the designated culprit.

The blind fold represents objectivity. It means that justice should be brought, regardless to the victim's and offender's identites
