Why Rule of Law Matters
Without rule of law people do not own their lives, property or a future. Absence of Rule of Law not only defines the political character of a society, but it affects development. The United States is “one nation under God with freedom and JUSTICE for all,” as the Pledge of Allegiance says. “There shall be one rule of Justice for the rich and the poor; for the favorite in Court, and the Countryman at the Plough.”
