Question

question 2 of 20
in a country that follows the rule of law:

a. all people must obey the law no matter their position.

b. citizens and noncitizens enjoy different levels of legal privilege.

c. political leaders enjoy legal privileges denied to common citizens.

d. the government possesses only limited powers.

Explanation:

The rule of law means that the law is supreme and applies equally to all, including those in power. Option A states that all people must obey the law regardless of their position, which aligns with the rule of law. Option B is incorrect as the rule of law emphasizes equal application of law, not different legal privileges based on citizenship. Option C is wrong because the rule of law does not allow political leaders to have special legal privileges. Option D, while related to constitutional limits on government, is not the core definition of the rule of law (the rule of law focuses on equality before the law, not just government power limits).

Answer:

A. all people must obey the law no matter their position.
