Though I have said above that all men by nature are equal, I cannot
be supposed to understand all sorts of equality. Age or virtue may
give man a just precedency. Excellency of parts and merit may place
others above the common level ... And yet all this consists with
the equality which all men are in, in respect of jurisdiction or
dominion, one over another.
-- John Locke
