Things I thought I'd find here but were missing:
"A nation of laws, not men," indicating the actual meaning of the often half-quoted truth is along the lines of the meaning of the rule of law.
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse," indicating that when the rule of law is present (especially, the law is fundamental, and well-understood) there's no reason that one may not know/understand the law (as opposed to the opaque and enigmatic law of today.)
Your views? 216.241.44.104 ( talk) 19:17, 31 December 2013 (UTC) _________________________ Came here looking for contribution of Jews/Israel/Hebrews to concept of rule of law. Found nothing. Yet surely this has been a major contribution, if not THE major contribution to the concept of governing human society through law: (1) the idea of the 10 Commandments, (2)the painstaking study and written preservation of law through the centuries and (3)the education of generations of young people in Hebrew law as integral part of growing up.

I think that the RULE OF LAW came from early Greece because my brother made it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.83.47.148 ( talk) 03:11, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
I am mystified by the lengthy quotation from Hayek at the end, since he represents a doctrinaire view that equates rule of law with libertarian theory.–––– — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.108.132.166 ( talk) 18:17, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Totally agree. Here is the most up to date one I can find, 2018. http://governance.neda.gov.ph/?p=879 -- 138.38.99.147 ( talk) 19:19, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
The United States doesn't have Rule of Law at all. The courts, internal affairs, DAs offices, and Attorney Generals, all allow police to do whatever they want, including rape torture and preplanned murder, and all push for the entire government class to be above the law. There are tens of examples of this weekly. Caelulum ( talk) 14:14, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
The OED definition as the first line is a rather weak way to open the article in my opinion. Maybe it could be changed to a circumscription of the principle in abstract terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.83.62.250 ( talk) 16:04, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Is there no article International Rule of Law? As Stoltenberg just advocated to abolish it. -- Alien4 ( talk) 14:28, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
In the Organizations section there are a few organizations whose sections are sourced entirely from their websites. Some orgs have blue links but others do not, and their paras contain nothing but references to their own websites. Itanalot ( talk) 00:54, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
