	Advancing through the Lodge was based on merit, not the member's place in society.

As a Brotherhood, Masons were to show respect to one another, to not show jealousy or complete another's designated task for themselves to gain favor with the Master, or to dispute the Master's decisions over wages, or to interrupt him, nor could they hold private deliberations without his permission.<ref name="~~AC3~~"/>		Advancing through the Lodge was based on merit, not the member's place in society.
