Elements of Democracy

Rule of Law:
Under such a system, law should be supreme to the capricious authority of any
individual. The rule of law is the supreme check on political power used against
people's rights. Without the regulation of state power by a system of laws,
procedures, and courts, democracy could not survive.

politicalsphere. This means, among other things, that everyone has the same

law.

Human Dignity:
The Catechism of the Catholic Church insists the "dignity of the human person
is rooted in his or her creation in the image and likeness of God." "All human

have the dignity of a person."
