Hanya Raja kita yang boleh dianggap Tuan kepada semua warganegara Malaysia. Selainnya kita adalah sama di sisi undang-undang.11 Perkara 8 Perlembagaan Persekutuan mengisytiharkan semua orang adalah sama di sisi undang-undang. Berhadapan dengan peruntukan ini tidaklah wajar mana-mana orang mendakwa atau menuntut bahawa bangsanya adalah tuan kepada yang lain.

The instantiation of this pact was said to create a single “artificial” entity comprised of individual citizens, called the body politic, and which embodied the “general will” of the people. This contract immediately set up the distinction between an individual’s “private will” concerned with personal interest, and his “general will” concerned with the common good.
