Rule of law prevented one person from becoming too powerful. In ancient times there were tyrants and monarchs, people who had supreme rule. These people could essentially do what they want because they were higher than the law. However, rule of law gave the lower-class citizens a chance because everyone was under the same rules. Upon examining Aristotle’s writings, Great Britain’s democratic developments, and the French Revolution, you can further see how important the rule of law is.
