MAKE OBSTRUCTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE GREAT AGAIN

​The rule of law is a fundamental political and legal principle which asserts that all individuals, institutions, and entities - including the state and those who govern - are equally accountable to laws that are publicly promulgated and independently adjudicated.

At its most basic level, it means that no one is above the law.

Core Principles

Modern legal systems, such as those in Australia, the UK, and the US, generally recognise several key pillars of the rule of law:

Accountability: Government officials and private actors are held responsible for their actions under the law.

Equality Before the Law: Laws apply to all people equally regardless of their status, wealth, or power.

Independent Judiciary: Disputes are resolved by impartial courts that are free from political pressure or influence.

Legal Certainty: Laws must be clear, stable, and publicly accessible so that people can understand their rights and obligations.

Separation of Powers: Power is divided between the legislature (law-makers), executive (government), and judiciary (courts) to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.

Protection of Fundamental Rights: The law must respect and protect basic human rights, such as freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial.
