What is meant by the "rule of law"?

No one is above the law
Only the president can make laws
Laws are always just
Laws can be changed easily

The correct answer is: No one is above the law

The concept of the "rule of law" refers to the principle that all individuals and institutions, regardless of their status, are accountable to the law. This means that no one, including government officials and leaders, is above the law. It ensures that laws are applied impartially and fairly, establishing a foundation for a democratic society. It promotes transparency, protects human rights, and provides a framework for resolving disputes. The other options do not accurately reflect the essence of the rule of law. The idea that only the president can make laws misrepresents the legislative process, which typically involves multiple branches of government. Suggesting that laws are always just overlooks the possibility of unjust laws existing within a legal framework, while the notion that laws can be changed easily does not align with the principle of stability and predictability that the rule of law aims to uphold.
