Definition of the 'Rule of Law'
The rule of law means that the use of political power is subject to the formal constraint of standing rules that are codified in the positive laws of the land.

The rule of law is the single most important factor, as Montesquieu sees it, in establishing moderation in government and therefore in protecting political liberty.
