The rule of law is a key democratic principle. What is the rule of law? 

Answer 1

The law applies to everyone; no one is above the law, not even the president.

Basically it means that no one is above the law, that the law of a land should be applied to everyone, that we all have to abide by the law, and that no one can be above the law, not even, let's say, the president of the United States.
