Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rule of law primarily establishes a legal framework within which laws are applied and enforced. While it legitimizes the law, captures precedent, prevents defenses based on ignorance of the law, and establishes clear rules of behavior, it does not inherently prevent citizens from breaking the law. People may still choose to violate laws, despite the existence of a legal framework.
