Or denying those who didn't own land the right to vote, or women the right to vote, a couple others...Rule of law means that everyone is beholden to the law. Equality before the law means that everyone is treated equally before the law. You cannot have one without the other.
Yes, but laws can be proscribed differently to different people.
Are you saying there was no rule of law in America before the 14th Amendment?
That would be an absurd assertion...
I see. Come to think about it, black codes were an excellent example of having the rule of law but not equality before the law. I stand corrected.
