It discusses how the rule of law provides a framework that makes organized power justifiable to individuals, while democracy emphasizes the importance of popular authorization in law-making. The author highlights that democracy cannot function effectively without legal definitions that clarify who constitutes "the people" and how they can act. Furthermore, the article identifies deficiencies in the U.S. democratic system regarding coherence, prospectivity, and feasibility, which hinder its stability and effectiveness. Ultimately, it posits that a robust democratic rule of law is essential for empowering citizens and ensuring accountable governance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
