Card 20 / 63: With regard to distributive justice, Aristotle argues that:
A) Resources should be distributed across society to attain the maximum strength and prosperity of the city-state as a whole, compared with other city-states.
B) Resources should be distributed away from those who have already crossed a certain threshold of well-being to help ensure that others will cross this same threshold.
C) Situations and communities are just when individuals receive benefits according to their merits, or virtue—the most virtuous should receive more of whatever goods society is in a position to distribute.
D) A basic level of resources should be distributed by the political class equally among all citizens to prevent discord and promote harmony, while saving resources for public festivals celebrating the gods.
