In 1974, Marc Galanter published a paper entitled "Why the 'Haves' Come Out Ahead: Speculations on the Limits of Legal Change" in which he analyzed the limits of a legal system, such as that of the United States, to achieve redistributive outcomes. He traced the limits to features of the U.S. legal system's "basic architecture." The specific features to which he referred were a series of structural dualisms or institutional contradictions that permitted symbolic claims to universalism, public authority, and equality to coexist with particularism, private power, and inequality
