The Concept of -Rule of Law | CSS Constitutional Law Notes

Q The Concept of -Rule or Law” is an integral part of the British constitution Explain this in the light of Dicey’s Exposition on the rule of law Also elaborate us present day modem concept in a state (C.S.S.,2016)

Rule of Law

The rule of law is a term that is often used but difficult to define. A frequently heard saying is that the rule of law means the government of law, not men. But what is meant by “a government of law, not men”? Aren’t laws made by men and women in the irroles as legislators? Don’t men and women enforce the law as police officers or interpret the law as judges?

The idea of the rule of law has been around for a long time. Many societies, including our own, have developed institutions and procedures to try to make the rule of law a reality. These institutions and procedures have contributed to the definition of what makes up the rule of law and what is necessary to achieve it.

Meaning of Rule of Law

The origins of the expression “rule of law” in English are uncertain. The first recorded use of the expression that the Oxford English Dictionary can find is by John Blount. Around 1500. Blount, a kinsman of William Blount, 4th Baron Mount joy and a fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, translated into English some selected portions of Nicholas Upton’s Dc Studio Militari (a forgettable 1447 treatise on heraldry and the military). Blount rendered the Latin Juris regula as (using the spelling of his time) the Rewle of lawe.
