There are different levels in the rule of law system. In this book, the author puts forward four levels of "e;there are laws to abide by"e;, "e;ensure that the laws are strictly observed"e;, "e;limit power by law"e; and "e;realize righteousness by law"e;, and each level has certain requirements for the legal system.But whether the rule of law can be promoted from one level to a higher level is not a purely institutional issue, because any system is ultimately operated by human beings.In order to realize the rule of law, it is necessary for the rulers, the officials and the public to believe in the importance of the rule of law from the heart, and to identify the universal values contained in the rule of law, so the development of the rule of law involves the legal culture of a society.This book has compiled many articles on the development of rule of law in Hong Kong in recent years, on which the author has commented.In addition to having a deeper understanding of the rule of law, reading this book can also help recognize the core values beyond legal provisions and legal systems.
