ABSTRACT

Establishing rule of law has been an important goal of social development and social evolution in modernity. The rule of law is nearly generally bolstered at the national and universal level. Rule of law is also an integral part of democratic experimentations historically as well as contemporaneously. But what is the meaning of rule, law and rule of law? Do these mean the same thing in different cultures and histories? Is it possible to learn some new insights and modes of engagement vis-a-vis law and society from a cross-cultural meditation on rule of law. The study undertakes such an exploration. The phrase ‘Rule of Law’ treasures Supremacy of Law and it means that all are equal in the eyes of law. The Rule of Law is deep-rooted in history and accepted as a notion by large number of nations. It differs from the concept of Rule of Man. The common objective for the development in all the societies is to live with human dignity and which is possible with the practice of rule of law. Rule of law can be expressed by only by practices and these practices are possible by expressing such intentions in the Supreme law of the land. Acknowledgements of the Fundamental rights and the concept of justice of all kind in the Constitution is strong evidences of the adoption of the concept of Rule of Law. This paper proposes an exhaustive discussion on rule of law as a political perfect and contends that its pertinence to the universal level will depend on that perfect being seen as a implies instead of a conclusion, as serving a work instead of characterizing a status.
