Answer:to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged,

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Rawls theory of justice,social values need to be equally distributed however social or economical inequality can be accepted if those who are in the worst social or economical situations will benefit more than they would in an equal distribution.

Beneficially inequality should not however lead to those without resources being forbidden to enter into positions of power, such as public office.

For this reason social and economic inequality must be organised in a way that it is for the greatyes benefit of those who are disadvantaged and office position should still be made fairly available to all.
