Rule of law
Rule of law: government under law, not law under government. Judicial independence and the limitation of power.
The rule of law requires that power be exercised within known, predictable legal limits that apply equally to all. Without independent courts, clear separation of functions, and constitutional brakes, democracy collapses into arbitrariness. Revista Conciencia Democrática publishes analysis on the health of institutions, attacks on the judicial system, and the constitutional principles sustaining republican liberty.
