    What is the Rule of Law?

    In order for Liberal Democracy to work in the way that it is intended to work; there are four pre-requisites. Firstly the democracy must be a constitutional democracy, where the constitution of the state is clearly available to, accessible to and understandable by the citizenry; and this constitution must be the supreme law of that state.

     

    Secondly the democracy must enshrine a charter of human rights that clearly illustrate the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of each and every individual citizen; to grow and develop to their individual optimal potential. This charter of human rights must be the foundation upon which all laws are phrased and upon which all public and private policy and contracts are based.

     

    Thirdly the democracy must establish within its constitution, the separation of powers, so that the legislative parliaments are independent of the executive cabinets and ministries and of the judicial courts.

     

    Fourthly the democracy must provide for the respect for the mutual agreements reached between and among people, irrespective of how those agreements are reached (i.e. irrespective of whether they are verbal, written, formal or informal agreements) and irrespective what these agreements cover, provided that the agreements do not seek to enforce illegal actions.

     

    It is through this combination of these four elements that a constitutional democracy becomes a Liberal Democracy. However in order for this system of checks, balances and counter-balances to work; the citizenry and the leadership must have respect for the Rule of Law.

     

    The Rule of Law is distinct from the Rule BY Law which is how fascist and military regimes operate. Rather the Rule of Law assures each and every person a fair trial, an independent judiciary and consistency. That is to say that the Rule of Law prevents arbitrary decisions, such that the weak and powerless are punished while the strong and powerful are exonerated.

     

    By removing this arbitrary decision making from government, the judiciary and civil society; we remove the potential for decisions to be made in favour of people paying or accepting bribes or other unethical inducements. By doing this we guarantee that in a Liberal Democracy, each and every person is assured of EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW.

     

    Further to this, the Rule of Law requires that the citizenry and the leadership accept the outcome of the judicial and legislative process, provided that the procedures for the protection of the rights of all people have been followed and provided that the methods of equality before the law were implemented as and when they should have been.

     

    Questions:

     

    1.                  In terms of the above, explain why the Rule of Law is vital for the existence of Equal Opportunities for Each and Every Single Person?

    2.                  In terms of the above, explain why the rehabilitation of convicted criminals is so important for a functioning, vibrant, dynamic and growing Liberal Democracy?

    Re: What is the Rule of Law?

    The rule of law is a legal maxim encompassing legal principles that might be considered the "foundation ase certification of a civilised society". While the rule of law has been described as "an exceedingly elusive notion"  giving rise to a 70-640 braindumps "rampant divergence of understandings" a dichotomy can be identifed between two principle conceptions of the rule of law; a formalist or "thin" and mcts 70-536 dumps a substantive or "thick" definition of the rule of law. Formalist definitions of the rule of law do not make a judgement about the "justness" of law itself, but define specific procedural attributes that avaya training the law must have in order to be in compliance with the rule of law. Substantive conceptions of the rule of law go beyond this and include certain substantive rights that are said to be based on, or derived from, the rule of law

    Re: What is the Rule of Law?

    The aphorism of law does not accept a absolute definition, and its acceptation can alter amid altered nations and acknowledged traditions. Generally, however, it can be accepted as a legal-political administration beneath which the law restrains the government by announcement assertive liberties and creating adjustment and adequation apropos how a country functions.

    Re: What is the Rule of Law?

    The Rule of Law is crisp from the Rule BY Law which is how ideology and expeditionary regimes operate. Rather the Rule of Law assures every and every mortal a clean trial, an autarkical establishment and consistency. That is to feature that the Rule of Law prevents capricious decisions, much that the anaemic and helpless are chastened patch the brawny and coercive are exonerated. By removing this capricious selection making from government, the establishment and subject society; we vanish the possibleness for decisions to be prefabricated in tendency of folks stipendiary or accepting bribes or another wrong inducements. By doing this we indorse that in a Liberal Democracy, every and every mortal is assured of EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. Further to this, the Rule of Law requires that the grouping and the activity accept the outcome of the righteousness and legislative process, provided that the procedures for the endorsement of the rights of every folks have been followed and provided that the methods of status before the accumulation were implemented as and when they should have.
