It can be translated into English as "rule of law", alternatively "legal state", state of law, "state of justice", or "state based on justice and integrity". A ''Rechtsstaat'' is a constitutional state in which the exercise of governmental power is constrained by the law. It is closely related to "constitutionalism" while is often tied to the Anglo-American concept of the rule of law, but differs from it in also emphasizing what is just (i.e., a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, or equity).

In a ''Rechtsstaat'', the power of the state is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
