Preserving rule of law

Description

Preserving law and order involves implementing and enforcing legal frameworks, maintaining public safety, and ensuring compliance with established rules to prevent crime, civil unrest, and disorder. This strategy includes coordinated actions by law enforcement agencies, judicial systems, and community initiatives to deter violations, resolve conflicts, and protect citizens’ rights. Effective preservation of law and order remedies threats to social stability, safeguards property, and upholds the rule of law, fostering a secure and orderly society.

Claim

The rule of law has been a critical civilizing influence in every free society. It distinguishes a democratic from a tyrannical society; it secures liberty and justice against repression; it elevates equality above dominion; it empowers the weak against the unjust claims of the strong. Its restraints, no less than the moral precepts it asserts, are essential to the well-being of society, both collectively and to individuals within it.
