4 Types of Justice

A

Distributive Justice—Justice that guarantees the common welfare. It invloves sharing. It sees to the just distribution of the goods of creation that God intends for all of us to use and share. Basic human dignity requires that we give enough the right to enough goods to live a human life. We entrust this to the government; taxes= fire and police for all; education

Commutative Justice— Fairness in agreements and exchanges between individuals and private social groups. You get what you pay for. Commutative justice is based on the principle of equality between what is given and what is received.

Legal Justice—The flip side of distributive justice. Legal justice regards citizens’ obligations toward larger society and government. Legal justice requires that citizens follow state laws and participate in government.

Social Justice—Applies the Gospel message of Jesus to the structures, systems, and laws of society in order to guarantee the rights of individuals. Social justice demands that everyone have a fair say in the social, political, and economic institutions of society. Everyone has the right to contribute to greater society (contributive justice)
