The emancipation proclamation

My dear reader, the rule of law is not a respecter of person or group of persons. Every soul and institutions is equal before the law. Hence, no one is above the law. In any criminal trial, the onus of proving the guilt against an accused person arraigned before a court of law beyond reasonable doubt rest squarely on the prosecution unless, in some special cases when the prosecution closes its case having called witnesses to testify against an accused person.
A democracy where the citizens don't rule directly (such as in Switzerland, through referendums) is representative democracy, as opposed to a direct democracy.
