St. Paul's discussion of the "law" in Romans 7-8 may have influenced the development and confidence in '''Rule of Law''' as the basis for a civilized society.
The '''Rule of Law''' is a fundamental [[conservative]] principle underlying the [[Magna Carta]], the [[Declaration of Independence]], the [[U.S. Constitution]], and a political philosophy. In essence it entails that no person is above the rule of law, and that the law is to be applied equally to all. Some countries openly breach the rule of law (such as [[Zimbabwe]] with its denial of basic human rights). Others such as [[Australia]] and [[USA|America]] promote the ideology of equality before the law, however there have been cases where this has not occurred (for example in Australia the Wood Royal Commission of 1995 found that police officers were not being properly investigated for cases of [[perjury]], and hence were acting above the law).
