Wolność i równość jako podstawowe elementy liberalnej demokracji

In the article liberty and equality as important values in democracy are presented. Political theory advances the thesis that liberal democrats do not consider power of the people as the highest and ultimate political value. Liberals include among fundamental values various types of liberty and various kinds of equality that are connected with them, that is, liberty of speech, liberty of religion, the right to property, the right to voice one’s opinion or the right to assume public offices. It is these values that are the foundations of the ideal of the society of free and equal human beings.
