Abstract
The term rule of law is closely related to both constitutionalism and the rule of law, and it refers to the political situation and not to any particular legal law. According to the rule of law, all people are subject to the law, including legislators, law enforcement, and judges. In this sense, it opposes tyranny or oligarchy, where rulers stand above the law. Lack of the rule of law can be found in both democracies and monarchies where laws are not taken into account. The rule of law is at stake where the government does not have the appropriate corrective mechanism to restore it.
