What is the rule of law?

No one is above the law, including leaders and government.

  1. The President can set aside any law
  2. Laws apply only to citizens
  3. No one is above the law ✔

Why: The rule of law means everyone must follow the law. That includes leaders and the government itself. Nobody gets a free pass.

Huh, didn't know that: "Equal Justice Under Law" is carved above the entrance of the Supreme Court building.
