Abstract
We have elected to define social justice pragmatically. More specifically, the practice of social justice in a nation reflects the values embodied in that nation’s constitution. A nation’s highest court interprets its laws and its government enacts its policies on the basis of the constitution. Therefore, systems established by that nation to address the needs of its citizens, such as education, welfare, defense, etc., can be examined to determine the extent to which they reflect those constitutional values.
