Rule of law limits what kind of government?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: An arbitrary government
Rule of law restricts arbitrary government power. Rulers, ministers and public officials are also subject to law, so they cannot act only according to personal will. Accountability and protection of rights are strengthened by the rule of law; they are not the type of government being limited. Exam tip: connect “equality before law” with control over arbitrary power.
