In the space provided, start by stating what the rule of law is, then give two examples of ways that an absence of the rule of law might affect life in your country. conclude by explaining how the rule of law protects the common good. your response should be between 75 and 150 words

The rule of law is the name given to the system of government or model of a country that is organized around the constitution. In this case, a system of laws governs the rights and duties of citizens. The opposite of the state of the law is a dictatorial government, in which the civil organization is carried out arbitrarily, around the figure of a dictator.

The absence of the rule of law can affect the life of my country. First example: the law establishes that the police forces must ensure the safety of citizens, but they must also take care of the integrity of the detainees, they can not disappear, anyone, let alone kill them. These rights that protect the suspect of crime disappear when there is a de facto government. Second example: the right to "freedom of expression" is fundamental for artists, intellectuals and cultural promoters to play their role in society. When the rule of law disappears hundreds of thinkers are forced to emigrate, which is painful and delays the nation's growth decades.

The rule of law protects the common good because it guarantees through laws our rights and duties to live in society. In this way, we organize, grow and receive with joy the hundreds of benefits of living in society.
