Answer» D. Economic Equality
Explanation: The liberal notions of equality is linked to legal and political equality which were invoked in the 18th and 19th centuries to bring rule of law, citizenship, voting rights, etc, considered essential for democracy. However, when demands for equality in other dimensions, namely social and economic, were raised in the 19th century by the workers, Lord Acton, Alex de Toc-queville and others vehemently opposed them. Laissez faire was found incompatible with economic redistribution and so found opposed to economic equality (Political Theory by H. Abbas & R. Kumar, p. 348).
