Estado de Derecho

Estado de Derecho, or the rule of law, means that all individuals and institutions, including the government, are subject to and must follow the law. It ensures that laws are clear, fair, and enforced consistently, preventing abuse of power and protecting citizens' rights. This framework promotes justice, accountability, and stability by maintaining that no one is above the law, and legal processes are transparent and accessible. Essentially, it creates a balanced system where laws govern society, rather than arbitrary decisions or the wishes of those in power.
