A.V. Dicey popularized the principle of the "Rule of Law". This principle holds that no one is above the law, and that every person, including the government, must be subject to the law. The Rule of Law ensures that government actions are consistent with established legal principles and that individuals have legal protections and remedies against any violations of their rights. It is an essential element of democratic societies, as it prevents abuses of power and promotes equality before the law.
