What are the three irreducible elements of the rule of law according to Reichel? Which do you believe is the most important and why?
What will be an ideal response?
The rule of law requires a nation to recognize the supremacy of certain fundamental values and principles, these values and principles must be committed to writing, and a system of procedures that holds the government to these principles and values must be in place. The first element is relatively unproblematic; it is difficult to imagine a modern organized society not recognizing a set of fundamental values that they hold supreme. These ultimate principles may be secular or religious. The second element is also relatively unproblematic. Any culture possessing a written language would be expected to put such important guiding principles into writing so that all may refer to them. Documents containing these principles may be the culture's holy books or a nation's constitution. The third element is much more problematic because it determines whether a country honors its fundamental values in practice as well as in theory.
