rule of law means that clear, public rules apply to every person in a country. A student, a shop owner, a police officer, and even the president or prime minister must obey the same laws. No one gets a special pass because they are rich or powerful. When the rule of law works, people trust that justice will be fair and steady, not random or personal.
