How to Make Fair Laws: John Rawls and the Veil of Ignorance

In his influential book "A Theory of Justice," Political philosopher John Rawls argues that justice is fairness. And in order to have justice and fairness, we must choose laws from behind a veil of ignorance. This means we must imagine that we didn't know anything about our own identity (wealth, race, gender, religion, etc.) and consider which laws we would choose given that we didn't know how they would affect us individually.
