Rule of law
• Rule means is to govern
• Law means a set of rules
• At its most basic level the rule of law is

the concept that both the government
and citizens know the law and obey it.
The rule of law ensures:
a. The government does not exercise
power arbitrarily, and
b. citizens are afforded human rights

protections.
No One is Above the Law
The phrase ‘equality before the law’ is

often used in relation to the rule of law
and means:
Equality- before the law means that all

human beings have the right to be
treated equally before the law. They are
also entitled to the equal protection of the
law, which means all people have the
right to be treated fairly and not be
discriminated against because of their
race, colour, gender, language, religion,
political beliefs, status or any other
unlawful reason.
3 Principle of Law
1. Supremacy of Law - The First meaning of the Rule of Law is
that 'no man is punishable or can lawfully be made to suffer in body
or goods except for a distinct breach of law established in the
ordinary legal manner before the ordinary courts of the land
2. Equality before Law - the Second meaning of the
Rule of Law is no man is above law
3. Predominance of Legal Spirit - is the general principles of
the constitution are the result of juridical decisions
determining file rights of private persons in particular cases
brought before the Court.

Key concepts that underpin the Rule of Law
There are four key characteristics that the rule of law must
maintain in order to ensure that the law upholds justice and equality
for all members of society.
Fairness: It is fair that in our legal system, the law is applied to

everyone; government and citizens.
Rationality: Laws need to be rational. It is against the rule of
law to create a law that cannot be followed.
Predictability: Laws must be predictable to ensure that the laws

an individual must abide by are known. It is also important that the
consequences and punishments for breaking these laws are equally
accessible and known by individuals. The rule of law is against the
enactment of retrospective laws. Rather, laws must be prospective in
their operation.
Consistency: This means that the law must apply to everyone in
the same way. As a result, cases with similar facts are likely to have
similar outcomes. This also requires judges to clearly identify how
cases, that may appear to be similar, are different if they want to
treat them differently.
Impartiality: In our system of government, we have an
impartial judiciary that is separated from the other arms of
government: the executive and the legislature. This is known as the
‘separation of powers. This doctrine enables judges to make decisions
based on the merits of the case without facing pressure, interference,
or negative repercussions from the government. The entirety of the
legal profession is also impartial; solicitors and barristers must
represent a client to the best of their abilities without the fear of
persecution.
➢History of rule of law
Professor A.V. Dicey, a professor of English Law at Oxford, coined the
term “the rule of law.” Dicey first used the term in his book ‘An
Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution’ which was
published in 1885. Although the term ‘the rule of law’ was not
frequently used before this publication, the concept has been in
existence for a much longer period.
The rule of law can be traced back to the ancient Greek philosopher,
Aristotle, and his notion that governments should govern for the good
of the people and not the good of those in power. The development of
the Magna Carta in 1215 was the foundation of what became a
tradition of constraining the monarchy’s power by law. In Australia
today, we owe this tradition of the rule of law to the Magna Carta and
the many legal documents it has since inspired.
Having its foundations so long ago in the past does not mean that the
rule of law has lost its relevance today. Today, the rule of law continues
to have a significant influence on our individual lives and government
actions. The doctrine governs citizen and government behaviors alike
through concepts such as the separation of powers and the right to a
fair and prompt trial.
Rights
The rule of law provides a valid basis for many fundamental human rights.
Some examples include the:
A. right to life,
B. right to liberty, and
C. security
Life without the Rule of Law
Succinctly, the rule of law allows us to function in our day to day lives without fear
of arbitrary trespass upon person and property, the terrors of violence and persecution or
unjust treatment under the law. A world without the rule of law opens the door to anarchy,
a state of lawlessness; and tyranny, a ruler or government vested with absolute power. A.
B. C. Many international human rights documents refer to the importance of the rule of
law, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms of 1950. Similarly, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of
1948 declares the rule of law ‘essential if man is not compelled to have recourse as a last
resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppress, that human rights should be protected by
the rule of law.’
