Abstract

The concepts known as the rule of law have evolved from varied legal traditions.

Most generally, the rule of law is a group of values or ideals relating to the law and its operation. The goals of the rule of law are to promote justice and to reduce the chance of the arbitrary use of official power. The rule of law is central to and guides the implementation and maintenance of a democratic government. The rule of law promotes respect and application of the law and generally produces respect for equality among individuals, respect for basic human and civil rights, community partnerships, public accountability, and government transparency.
