Answer 2

A government of law and not of men.

Distinguished from the rule of manwhere, for example, in a monarchy, tyrannical or theocratic form of government, governance and rules of conduct is set and altered at the discretion of a single person, or a select group of persons.

In a political system which adheres to the paramountcy of the rule of law, the law is supreme over the acts of the government and the people.

According to the United Nations, the rule of law: 

"... refers to a principle of governance in which all persons, institutions and entities, public and private, including the State itself, are accountable to laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced and independently adjudicated, and which are consistent with international human rights norms and standards."
