Democracy is primarily about representation and individual freedom. "Rule of law" is one of the main selling points of authoritarian ideologies. Are you sure you didn't drop a minus sign somewhere?

- shkkmo 5y agoAuthoritarian regimes don't have "rule of law". The entire point is that all institutions in an Authoritarian country are under the control of the authoritarian leader/party. If the judicial system has independent power and can hold the rulers accountable when the violate the law, it isn't an authoritarian regime. This is precisely why the US has a system of checks and balances and why the judicial system is an important part of that.
