Explain what Rawls would say about the proposed legislation.

Essay Prompt: Imagine Canadistan. Canadistan is considering legislation that would give the children of wealthy parents a huge advantage in life. The new law goes as follows:

if, at birth, a child’s parents make a $50,000.00 payment to the government, the child will receive the following benefits:
be granted admission to any university of his or her choosing, regardless of their academic scores (they will still have to pay for school, but since universities are already subsidized in Canadistan the tuition is cheap);
be permanently placed in the lowest income tax bracket in the country (tax brackets run up to 60%, with the lowest tax bracket being 10%); and
have access to free spa treatments for life.
Address the scenario above using ONE of the following prompts:

Give a summary of the relevant parts of Plato’s theory and explain what Plato would say about the proposed legislation.
Give a summary of the relevant parts of Rawls’s theory and explain what Rawls would say about the proposed legislation.
Give a summary of the relevant parts of Nozick’s theory and explain what Nozick would say about the proposed legislation.

Instructions and Advice on how to write it:

When constructing your essay, think of your reader as someone who needs your help; you are your thinker’s representative. Your essay will serve as a tutorial:
Be sure your essay is fully formed, i.e., introductory remarks, summaries, and analyses. When formulating your position, be sure to make your argument clear.
Organize your thoughts so they are expressed on paper as a coherent whole. Given the constraints of the exam format, you’ll probably write a minimum of four, and a maximum of six paragraphs. These should ‘hang together’ in a way that’s easy to follow; there is a clear progression of ideas.
Write intelligibly: sentences must be grammatical and cohesive.
Choose your words carefully. Remember, you’re constructing ideas for your reader.
Orient your essay around a single point you want to make, using your thinker(s) concepts and argument(s) as evidence.
Be sure to present, describe, and explain significant concepts and their relations:
Describe important concepts and lines of reasoning, e.g., ‘He says this, he argues that.’
Explain important concepts and lines of reasoning, e.g., ‘This is what he means by this and that.’
Connect important concepts and lines of reasoning to your thesis, e.g., ‘So, this is why…’
In addition, do not use material from any outside (i.e., secondary) sources, and do not use quotes from the primary source material longer than several words; I want to read what you have to say about the text. When you do quote the text, however, be sure to enlist the appropriate punctuation.
As a reminder, be sure to construct grammatical sentences that:
introduce and describe important terms or concepts;
summarize the central (or relevant) argument;
explain the important terms or concepts;
explain the central (or relevant) argument
Your completed essay should run between (no fewer than) 850 and (approximately) 1000 words.
