Core principles of Rule of Law

The main features of Rule of Law include: (1) Limitation of powers - the state and officials have limited, defined powers under law; (2) Equality before law - all persons are equal before law with no special privileges; (4) Liberty and civil rights - protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. Statement 3 'People's responsibility to the Government' is not a core feature of Rule of Law; rather it emphasizes Government's accountability to people through Rule of Law. Rule of Law focuses on limiting governmental power and protecting citizen rights, not on people being responsible to government.

Dicey. > Core trinity of Rule of Law: Limitation of power + Equality before law + Liberty & rights. Answer: (c).
