During the past millennia, the rule of law has been an important ideal in political tradition. It aims to create an orderly society where everyone has access to protection. Moreover, it helps to limit asymmetry in political power.

It is a set of rules that are enforceable by governmental institutions. Law can be divided into three categories: public law, private law, and regulation. Several legal systems have been developed across the world. Some are better at achieving these goals than others.

In general, law should be a body of norms promulgated as public knowledge. It should also operate impartially and impersonally.

Some people argue that religion is a part of law. Some religions, such as Islam, have a body of law that is based on religious precepts. In fact, the Quran acts as a source of further law through interpretation, interpretation by analogy, and Ijma.

Law can also protect individual rights. It can also serve to maintain the status quo and keep society orderly. Moreover, it can help to resolve disputes peacefully.

Law can also serve to promote social justice. Some legal systems protect the interests of minorities better than others. Moreover, they provide shelter from the power of an arbitrary government.

Some systems, such as the Canadian legal system, ensure that everyone has access to protection. It is important to ensure that the law is consistent. Moreover, it can serve to maintain the status quo and keep a nation safe.
