They’re all Social Darwinists: they think it’s the natural order for the strong to dominate the weak, they are the strong, the rest are the weak. The laws they create are meant to manage and mobilise the weak, aka the workforce aka human cattle, not to be applied equally to them. Their notion of the Social Contract isn’t that everyone comes together and agrees to bind themselves by the same rules; it’s that they will allow the weak to exist relatively peacefully within the system they design for them, in exchange for submission and tributes.
