rule of law

Rule of Law

In essence ensures the exercise of arbitrary power is not possible by any group
Encompasses three major features - the law must treat everyone equally, everyone must have access to the law, and it must be known by everyone
The tule of law also embodies other related principles such as the indipendence of the judiciary, concept of a fair trial, individual rights in relation to arrest and the provision of legal aid for those unable to afford their own defence
