Supremasi hukum

Rule of law adalah prinsip hukum yang menyatakan bahwa hukum harus memerintah sebuah negara dan bukan keputusan pejabat-pejabat secara individual. Prinsip tersebut biasanya merujuk kepada pengaruh dan otoritas hukum dalam masyarakat, terutama sebagai pengatur perilaku, termasuk perilaku para pejabat pemerintah.^[2] Istilah ini berasal dari Inggris pada abad ke-16, dan pada abad berikutnya, teolog Skotlandia Samuel Rutherford menggunakan istilah tersebut dalam argumennya untuk menentang hak ilahi raja.^[3]
