If law works by written rules and not by leader's wish, what strengthens?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rule of law
When laws are applied through fixed written rules, the rule of law is strengthened. Under it, leaders and governments are not above the law, and decisions cannot be based on personal wishes. Arbitrary power is the closest opposite because it allows a ruler’s will to outweigh established rules. Exam tip: if laws apply equally to citizens and rulers, it indicates the rule of law.
