Law of the Land

The "Law of the Land" is a legal principle meaning that everyone must follow the laws of the country or region they are in. It ensures that laws apply fairly to all individuals, whether citizens or visitors. This concept also emphasizes that laws cannot be arbitrary; they must be consistent and established through a proper legal process. Essentially, it protects people from arbitrary actions by authorities and guarantees their basic legal rights. In the United States, this phrase is often associated with constitutional protections that safeguard individuals against unlawful government actions.
