The Rule of Law has and remains a ubiquitous and key concept of governance with roots stretching from Aristotle, to King John III and the Magna Carta, and various modern day authors, and it is a concept that is referred on a daily basis.
Despite this long genealogy and tenacious popularity, and the seminal importance it is given in dialogue across a broad spectrum of disciplines concerned with governance within one context or another, there is still not one model that explains how the ROL arises, its mechanics and effects.
In the vacuum, current models of the ROL either adopt the tautology of assuming the ROL is simply a description or characteristic of an ideal political form (usually democracy). Or, based on the typically high correlations between the ROL and an ideal political form (again, usually democracy), they depended on the well-known false narrative that “correlation-indicates-causality” to claim that a causal relationship exists between the two, and that the purpose of the ROL is its outcome, which is an ideal political form.
Unfortunately, neither tautological nor teleological models offer a sound basis for understanding or applying the ROL with the intentio of creating a predictable effect, which leaves understanding and the practical application of the ROL rudderless.
This LegalB website platforms an alternative, science-based model of the Rule of Law which does provide a full framework for understanding how it arises, its mechanics and effects, and which in turn therefore gives direction to its practical application with predicted and measurable effect.
In sum, the model is based on a combination of systems analysis and the application of formal science methodology, and has been subjected to extensive empirical research and development.
The model is inter-operable with current tautological and teleological models of the ROL to the extent that it utilises the same objective empirical data and is based on the same basic assumption that the ROL is based on the separatoin of powers.
That currrent models of the ROL do not address and therefore cannot contradict components of the science-based model that deal with how the ROL arises, its mechaincs and effects also provides a basis for the inter-operativity of the science-based model with current models.
