What is democracy on the principle of equality?

The principle of equality is a basic assumption of axiology. The chief idea behind it is that, unless there is a good reason given for different treatment, all people should be treated equally in the same way. For example, since they are immature and irresponsible, children may be treated differently from the way that adults are treated. Since the alternative would be irrational, all standard political theories such as democracy use the principle of equality.
