ABSTRACT
The Rule of Law is a foundational principle in democratic societies that upholds the supremacy of law, equality before it, and protection against arbitrary governance. This paper delves into the evolution, significance, and jurisprudence of the Rule of Law from historical origins in England to its present form under the Indian Constitution. The study analyzes judicial interpretations, such as Keshavananda Bharati and Golaknath, and evaluates global standards and enforcement in countries like the USA, UK, Germany, China, and Australia. It also explores violations, remedies under Indian and international law, and the impact of recent events like misuse of executive power and global court rulings. Through comparative analysis and legal theory, this document highlights the indispensable role of Rule of Law in ensuring justice, transparency, and human rights.
Keywords: Rule of Law, Constitutional Governance, Judicial Review, Human Rights, Legal Remedies, Keshavananda Bharati, Golaknath, NHRC, International Law, Arbitrary Governance, Legal Equality, India, Global Legal Systems.
