The Rule Of Law Theory

The Rule of Law is the idea that the power of government officials should be defined and limited by laws while Rule of Force related to rules dictated by an authoritative power through intimidation and military backing. Rule of Law allows citizens to understand the powers held in government as well as their individual rights, this promotes equality and mutual understanding between the two parties; it ensures government officials are subject to the same Constitutional fundamental rights as citizens.

The United States prides itself on the fact that we have the rule of Law. In other countries such as Japan, the people are expected to obey the government and corporations. If we did not have lawyers, bureaucrats would administer the law. Some complain that we have too many lawsuits, but very few would accept having to obey only the government and the bureaucrats.

The Torah, the Tanak, the Hebrew Bible, and the Pentateuch. No matter how you say it they all mean the same thing. The Torah is the foundation of Judaism: the most sacred documents. The word Torah can mean numerous things. It often simply refers to the T in Tanak. It is most commonly translated to mean “ the law”. There are five books that make up the Torah. These books are referred to as the Five Books of Moses: Exodus, Genesis, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The books of the Torah tell the Israelites a story. A story that begins where we begin, and ends before the introduction of the Savoir. It is often questioned, who the author(s) of the Torah is (are). For this question there are generally two main hypotheses: Mosaic Authorship and the Documentary Hypothesis.

The statement above said by Lord Bingham, from ‘The Rule of Law’ (2007) 66 (1) Cambridge Law Journal 67-85, p. 76. The statement references that the rule of law is not abided by if the state does not provide human protection. This statement can be looked upon, agreed and disagreed with after reviewing the two theories in the rule of law. This will be made possible, as I compare Joseph Raz’s formal theory and Lord Bingham’s Substantive Theory on the rule of law. But firstly, I will address what the Rule of Law is;

citizens are under a duty to obey the same laws, and there can be no

Thousands of individuals are living in poverty. Why is it that this worldwide dilemma is still rising in rapid numbers till this day? Is it because of a lack of authoritative power, or a lack of one’s self control to do good? Despite the unknown cause, it has managed to drastically affect the lives of many. Poverty is like a curse, one that is wrongfully placed, difficult to get out of, and resistant to many forms of help.

“…No matter how plain a women may be if truth and loyalty are stamped upon her face all will be attracted to her...” Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11, 2014 in New York City, New York. She was the only the only daughter of Anna Hall and Elliot Roosevelt; she was the middle child in her trio of siblings. Her brothers were Elliot Roosevelt Jr. and Gracie Hall Roosevelt who were the oldest and youngest siblings respectively. The Roosevelt siblings encountered trauma at a young age.

Rule of law in simplest terms means law rules, that is, law is supreme. The term “Rule of law‟ is derived from the French phrase “la principle de legalite” (the principle of legality) which means a government on principle of law and not of men. Rule of Law is a viable and dynamic concept and, like many other concepts, is not capable of any exact definition. It is used in contradistinction to rule of man. Sir Edward Coke, the Chief Justice in King James I‟s reign is said to be the originator of this principle. However, concrete shape was given to it by Professor A.V. Dicey, for the first time in his book “Law of the Constitution” (1885) in the form of three principles.

Poverty is a social problem that affects everyone on an economic, political and social level. The problem of human suffering is one that we must combat strategically on many levels. According to the United Nations, “in 2015 more than one billion people around the world live in a state of poverty, lacking the basic goods food, clothing, and shelter that humans need to survive” (“Poverty”). There are a great number of areas that keep individuals poor, such as lack of resources, inadequate income, lack of education, language barriers and the high cost of child care. Being able to work and provide basic necessities is our basic human right and we should not be deprived of these basic human rights that individuals need in order to live satisfying lives. The government has the responsibility of helping individuals in need with the economic assistance to feed, clothe, house, educate, provide health care and decent wages for every individual. They should ensure that individuals have access to resources that will help them build a better future. There are several ways that we can work together to strategically find solutions to end inequality among the poor individuals in our society.

The rule of law is a difficult concept to grasp and proves elusive to substantive definition. However, the following work considers the attempts of various social and legal theorists to define the concept and pertinent authorities are considered. Attitudes and emphasis as to the exact shape, form and content of the rule of law differ quite widely depending on the socio-political perspective and views of respective commentators (Slapper and Kelly, 2009, p16), although there are common themes that are almost universally adopted. The conclusions to this work endeavour to consolidate thinking on the rule of law in order to address the question posed in the title, which is at first sight a deceptively simple one.

Power plays a large part in law, financial power is needed to get a lawyer and go on with a court case and the multinational corporation coming into the small town to take over mining duties has a drastically larger pocket in comparison to the small town. Another power the multinational corporation holds at larger account in comparison to the small town is authoritative power. The larger mining company used this power to alter the results about the hazardous water being dispelled into the town, harming the residents and wild life of the town. Another way the large corporation used this power is through the provincial government, the provincial government exempted the company from many environmental standards. Corporations, towns, and

The basic structure and the philosophy of the UN Commission on The Legal Empowerment of the Poor (LEP) is simply how the increase in protection and rights can create inclusive development initiatives that translates into empowerment for those living in poverty. More importantly the structure addresses inclusive development with regards to “the rule of law” for the disadvantaged. Within the concept of using the law to specifically strengthen the disadvantage, it proposes the four pillars envisioned to enhance partnership between donors and recipients of fund in development programs. These four pillars include: access to justice and the rule of law, property rights, labour rights, and business rights. (Making the Law Work for Everyone).
