The Rule of Law
The concept of the rule of law is the cornerstone of any democratic society and
government. It is the law which is used to decide disputes, not the wishes or ideas of any mere
mortal, irrespective of his or her position. Moreover, the parties for the most part accept the fact
that the dispute will be decided by a rule of law and that the winner and the loser alike will accept
the determination without resorting to another method of resolution, such as force.
The study of law essentially concerns rules of law. A rule of law is a prediction as to
what a court will or will not do in a given factual situation. It is then obvious that the facts create
legal issues which are resolved by using rules of law. A majority of legal procedures are designed
to discover the facts (e.g., the function of the jury is fact finding).
The law is one of the means for controlling the conduct of businesses. The basic role of
law in business decisions is apparent. It constrains business in its decisions and in its selection of
alternative courses of action. Certain conduct is illegal, and individuals or businesses who commit
acts or omissions declared to be illegal are subject to sanctions, e.g., fines or imprisonment if the
conduct is declared a crime. The sanctions may include liability for damages if the conduct is
tortious (involving a wrongful act or a breach of contract). Besides, the law and legal sanctions
may be used to prevent certain conduct or to require that certain things be done. Business decisions
must be мейд within the law, or sanctions will be imposed. The law is the foundation for the
regulation of all business conduct and decisions.
