Both Liberals and Conservatives underestimate the innate human desire for Justice. In my view, it's far more fundamentally ingrained in the human psyche than political persuasion. The principles you speak of are designed as curbs against the leveraging of power in such a way as to distort the natural order. In spite of what many conservatives say and think even the weak want Justice to prevail. While it's true that many in the minority community erroneously believe that Justice means 'equality', it's also true that tyranny can have a private as well as public face and it matters little to the oppressed if it's a government, corporation, or individual that does the oppressing. Over time the line between private and public oppression can become blurred as the powerful seek to bend and control the state to echo their narrow self interest. Conservatives tend to discount and marginaliize the oppression and tyranny that results from unnatural concentrations of power and wealth by corporations and individuals, while Liberals tend to discount the danger of the oppression that originates with the state. All tyrannies are the natural enemies of Justice and the natural order because they reward and punish based on their own will rather than natural law. Tyrants invariablly seek to create their own 'reality' and impose that 'reality' on the rest of society. Tyrany invariably results when too much power is allowed to accumulate in the hands of an individual or group in a society; even if that power is won fairly or by the rules and laws of that society. Power can and will write its own laws; if that's what it takes to sustain itself. This is the origin and truth of the cliche that "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." A just society is not one where there are no losers or winners, or one where eveyone is rewared and punished equally regardless of merit or contribution; Justice demands that there will be both winners and losers because that is how the world is naturally; and that is how we move forward as individuals and as a species. In other words, Justice seeks to keep society in touch with natural law. This explains why the inventors of Democracy also invented the practice of ostraization and routinely used it to curb the power of the individual.
