Equality, equity, equal rights, equal opportunity, fairness, justice. With regard to the {{SITENAME}}, these mean equality under the law. People must be treated the same regardless of who they are, without discrimination based on sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetics, or any other condition not under one's control. It also means that no person may discriminate in connection with an offer of a product or service, including employment. Equity also requires that politicians can't play favorites to those who do them favors. To help mitigate legacy issues that could suppress the opportunity for advancement of those who have been historically discriminated against, basic assistance should be provided to allow those who wish to improve themselves to thrive. 

Government policies and laws can often hinder the inclusion of those who have been historically discriminated against, even when the laws seem to be neutral. For example, ballot access laws and campaign finance rules that favor incumbents and political insiders can make it more difficult for women and minorities to win office. Gerrymandered districts and the lack of term limits make fewer positions available for fresh, new office seekers while occupational licensing and other arbitrary regulations on entrepreneurs make it more difficult for new start-ups to compete with large, established businesses.

The Uniting Amendment establishes term limits, opens up ballot access, eliminates gerrymandering, and allows for the free flow of political discourse to allow citizens who have not participated in the past to serve their country. It also provides for basic assistance to those in need and prohibits discrimination and arbitrary regulations so the underprivileged have a fair shot at success.
