What is the rule of law?
In easy context, we can ask about is the purposed of law in the related context.

Here some related explanations:

According to Tamanaha (2012) in the chapter about  the history and element of the rule of law provide some explanations:

"II. Definition of the Rule of Law Here is the definition:

The rule of law means that government officials and citizens are bound by and abide by the law. I repeat: government officials and citizens are bound by and abide by the law. This is a simple and basic definition.

I have selected it because it is a proposition that everyone who thinks about the topic would agree with. Many who write about the rule of law would add more than this, but no one would say that the rule of law involves less than this.

It is the minimum content of the rule of law. A society in which government officials and citizens are bound by and abide by the law is a society that lives under the rule of law. While this definition is basic, it is not empty. A number of requirements and implications immediately follow from it.

This definition requires that there must be:

1.  A system of laws—and law by its nature involves rules set forth in advance that are stated in general terms. A particular decision or an order made for an occasion is not a rule. 
2. The law must be generally known and understood. The requirements imposed by the law cannot be impossible for people to meet. 
3. The laws must be applied equally to everyone according to their terms. 
4. There must be mechanisms or institutions that enforce the legal rules when they are breached.
