In a dictatorship how is the rule of law regarded

The rule of law isn't regarded or respected at all. The ruler can break the rules as they please because in dictatorship, one person has absolute power.

i.e.: The country Sneep ( clearly fictional) is under a dictatorship. The ruler is Jeff.
There's a rule forbidding people from scratching in public.
Jeff scratches himself in public.

Only Jeff finds relief to his itches in public.

Only Jeff

Avoid political parties don’t form foreign alliances and social reform
