The rule of law and the rule of law and the rule of man and the rule of man are two pairs of related but different concepts:
Legal system: refers to the legal system and system of a country or society. The legal system emphasizes the existence and implementation of legal norms, and it includes the formulation, enforcement, and supervision of laws. The purpose of the legal system is to maintain social order, ensure fairness and justice, and protect citizens' rights through the establishment of a relatively stable and clear set of legal rules.
Rule of Law: is a governance philosophy and principle that emphasizes the supremacy and universality of the law. The rule of law means that all people must act within the framework of the law, which becomes the basis of social governance. The rule of law pursues the fairness, equality, transparency and accessibility of the law, ensuring that everyone is equally protected and bound by the law.
Human system: In contrast to the legal system, the human system emphasizes the role of human factors in social governance. In the human-based model, factors such as personal relationships, power, and status may have a greater impact on decision-making and resource allocation. Personism may rely on an individual's authority, network of relationships, or specific relationships to govern.
Rule of man: Rule of man refers to the governance of society with the will and power of individuals. In the case of human rule, decision-making and power are often concentrated in the hands of a few, whose personal judgments and actions have an important impact on society.
Compared with the human system and the rule of man, the legal system and the rule of law pay more attention to the normative and universal nature of the law, and emphasize the fairness and stability of the law. They aim to ensure fairness, justice and order in society through the constraints and guarantees of the law.
Ideally, a society should progressively achieve the goal of the rule of law on the basis of the rule of law. This means not only having a sound legal system, but also ensuring that the law is effectively enforced, impartially enforced and universally observed. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the human factor and cultivate citizens' legal awareness and moral quality, so as to achieve a more just, stable and harmonious social governance.
