EQUALITY OF ALL CITIZENS BEFORE THE LAW

This concept presupposes that no individual person is above the law no matter his/her status or position in society.

It also implies that both the rulers and the ruled are equal before the law of the land.

The law that applies to rulers should equally be applied to the ruled. Equality of aft citizens before the law in practical terms simply means that the law is not respecter of anybody hence, does not discriminate against anyone by either being unjustly fair to some people or being unfair to others.
