Questions & Answers about Równość wobec prawa to nasz główny cel.
Why do we use wobec here instead of przed, since the English translation says "before"?
In Polish, the abstract concept of equality in relation to an institution or group uses the preposition wobec (meaning "in the face of" or "in relation to"). While przed literally means "in front of" spatially or temporally, wobec is generally used for abstract relationships, obligations, and attitudes.
What case does the preposition wobec require here?
The preposition wobec always requires the genitive case. That is why the neuter noun prawo (law) appears in its genitive form, prawa.
Why can't we just use the genitive directly and say równość prawa?
Using the genitive directly without a preposition changes the relationship completely. Równość prawa would mean "equality belonging to the law" or "the law's equality." To express how subjects stand in relation to the law, the abstract noun równość must govern the specific prepositional phrase wobec prawa.
As a refresher, why do we use to instead of jest here?
