Check out my free resources for Civics here: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Civics-Review-St… Thank you to my teacher homies for supporting this channel through my TPT store!

This review video covers: The Rule of Law by definition, comparing societies that have the rule of law and those that do not, the influence it has on our government, and the elements that uphold the ideal, including Police Enforcement, Consistent Application, Transparency of Institutions, Accountability, and Due Process.

This video is designed for middle and high school level civics/government classes. I use these to teach, review for tests, or remediate after tests. Also used at the end of the year for EOC or final exam type state assessments. They can be done with guided instruction from the teacher or assigned individually (Works well with home connect or distance learning). Thanks for watching!

Please check out my channel for more civics/government content and be sure to check out my TpT site to get access to the keynote slides presentations and accompanying worksheets as well as my other lessons and materials. I appreciate all of your support!

    Great video. Would you say that the rule of law needs to have democracy in the state to be more effective in the goal that is trying to achieve? It seems to me you suggested it, but I want to be sure.

    To my research there certain people who are above the law,for instance in my a formal president was caught in military coup failed, and while the other culprit where undergoing the full force of the law the regional organisation took the formal president escape the justice according to them they to avoid chaos and tension in country

    Hi! This is awesome, really easy to comprehend. Is there a way to have it in Spanish? I'd love my Cuban peers to understand this ❤ Kind regards Dayana

    I don't necessarily believe that government goes above the rule of law. They create the law within a certain boundaries. And there is always a thin line in a Gray area within those laws. That average people. Or uneducated people on the rule of law. Do not educate themselves fully. Or cannot afford good enough lawyers educated on the rule of law. To find those Gray areas. That insurer that they did not break the law. People get mad because they broke the law themselves and their mad. Because someone else won in the court of law, finding the Gray area because they had more money. And before they attempted anything. The educated themselves on those Gray areas A Gray areas like a fork in the road leading to another fork. For each fork. One fork leads to 4 forks. What's leads to 8? What's leads to sixteen

    There is no country on Earth that applies the law consistently, where the rich and government officials don't have more leeway under the law than everybody else. Also, why was President Nixon even being above the law ever a debate? Wtf

    Qualified immunity literally protects all government employees, they can do what they want and get away with it.
