The rule of law

Explanation:

The rule of law is the notion that the government is not above the law. In other words, every person – whether politician, lawmaker, judge, or law enforcement official – is subject to the law. The rule of law is largely incompatible with a monarchy or oligarchy where rulers are often held above the law.
