RULE OF LAW VERSUS Rule by Law

In both rule of law and rule by law there is rule i.e. positive law but the two are different in the purposes they serve.

If a government makes laws by its legislators and the law serves for all people to bring peace and stability and if all the people are equally treated and benefited from the law, this is called Rule of Law.

On the other hand if a government makes laws that benefit a certain group of people or only the ruling class disregarding the equality of people before the law, this is Rule by Law.
One common example of rule by law is the rule of the nazi’s regime in Germany.
Let us work together to ensure rule of law but not rule by law everywhere.
