Good Citizen 006 Rule of Law

August 28, 2018

Episode 6 – Rule of Law
Rule of Law is the principle that all people and institutions are subject to and accountable to law that is fairly applied and enforced; the principle of government by law.
In this episode, we trace human and American history, from a time when kings were divine to when the Law is King. We look at where the United States is ranked as a country governed by the Rule of Law, where we fall short, and what we can do about it.
