By the virtue of this assignment, I have performed extensive analysis on Rawl and Kant theory as well as present the conception of justice that explains deeper of abstraction. John Rawls and Immanuel Kant are two philosopher and theories somehow contract each other. This essentially explain that political theories targets to derive principles for the social justice by the model of social contract. This report tries to compare both these theories and explain how Rawls' theory fundamentally justify the Kantian basis. The comparison can't be mechanical and diagrammatic amongst the two posts. 
Kant was prominent in 18th century, when the concept of absolutism was prominently dominating the European politics while on the other hand Rawls is a contemporary philosopher who established theory of democratic and industrialised countries. Fundamentally, Kant isn’t a political philosopher in first place. Essentially, Kant's publication, there are three critiques - Critique of Practical Reason, Critique of Judgement and Critique of Practical Reason which deals with moral philosophy, epistemology and aesthetic. It was only at the end of academic career Kant published his political writings. On the other hand, Rawls is a political philosopher of 20th century. Main publication of Rawls include “A Theory of Justice” that can be explained as modern classic. However, both Rawls and Kant have major difference in their theories. Essentially, Kantian roots implicit in Rawls work but his mission is to rejuvenate the classic contractions.
