Do you understand why the rule of law is important for maintaining free society? The Bill of Rights Institute has created a short, engaging video for Bill of Rights Day on the constitutional principle of the rule of law. Exciting visuals from current events, an engaging historical narrative, brief scholar interviews, and memorable quotes will make this 8-minute video perfect for use on Bill of Rights Day, and every day! A short viewing guide is also available to guide you through the content.

  • We need more of this kind of educational material on the 'net, but even simpler than this. I would like to see someone apply even more brevity to these principles and present them in the way that Common Craft does videos perhaps--not as a replacement for this kind of video (or the kind that Hillsdale College does, for example, with much more depth) but as an *intro* for those who need a very easy on-ramp to the highway if you will.

  • The problem now is that the rule of procedure has trumped the rule of law .

  • rickl7069.. Good point, there are many other areas that our liberty has been removed considering our current De Facto form of Democracy. Most Americans do not understand the true meaning of a Constitutional Republic and the Rule of Law... De Jure. All you hear from both parties and political pundits is the word Democracy... this is not done from ignorance, it has been taught in our schools for over 40 years. We have been losing our true Constitutional Principles since the Organic Act of 1871

  • Love the video - thanks for great resources!

  • I love the rule of law in principle. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way in reality. The fact is, if you are poor and accused of anything, you are most likely going to jail - whether you did it or not. The fact is that attacking DA, for all intents and purposes, has practically unlimited resources to come after you, while a poor man generally gets stuck with a free attorney that doesn't care. Hard to find a rich man in jail - though there are exceptions.

  • Nice video - cool effects!

  • Awesome video!
