of 
this 
philosophy; 
nor 
can 
inequalities 
in 
the 
distribution 
of 
wealth, 
other 
than 
those 
which 
compensate 
for 
inequalities 
of 
sacrifice 
or 
need 
and 
those 
which 
serve 
indirectly 
to 
benefit 
persons 
who 
get 
the 
least. 
Many 
of 
the 
existing 
inequalities 
do 
serve 
in 
this 
way, 
but 
by 
no 
means 
all. 
Since 
inequalities 
in 
wealth 
result 
from 
inequalities 
in 
the 
coercive 
bargaining 
power 
of 
the 
different 
members 
of 
the 
community 
and 
since 
the 
bargaining 
power 
of 
each 
individual 
is 
conditioned 
by 
his 
legal 
rights 
and 
duties 
as 
defined 
by 
the 
courts, 
it 
becomes 
pertinent 
to 
inquire 
into 
the 
protection 
which 
the 
courts 
afford 
to 
one 
man's 
economic 
liberty 
against 
the 
coercive 
power 
of 
other 
individuals 
or 
of 
the 
government—whether 
in 
proclaiming 
rules 
of 
the 
common 
law 
or 
in 
giving 
authoritative 
interpretation 
to 
the 
provisions 
of 
the 
Constitution.
