Answer:
I think that equality is the primary ideal, out of which all of the other ones are based. Without equality as the FIRST and MOST important right, it might be easy for others to try to take away your human and civil rights (not see them as 'inalienable). If a certain group or class is better than others (if there is no equality) the class that thinks it's better will try to control everyone else. So without equality the people have no right to decide how they want to be governed and no ability to change or abolish government if they don't like it or it gets out of control.
