Questions: In a country that follows the rule of law: A. all people must obey the law no matter their position. B. political leaders enjoy legal privileges denied to common citizens. C. citizens and noncitizens enjoy different levels of legal privilege. D. the government possesses only limited powers.

The answer is A. all people must obey the law no matter their position.

This option is correct because the rule of law is a principle that mandates that everyone, regardless of their status or position, is subject to the law. This ensures equality before the law and prevents arbitrary governance.

This option is incorrect as it contradicts the fundamental principle of the rule of law, which requires that no one is above the law, including political leaders.

While there may be differences in certain legal rights between citizens and noncitizens, the rule of law itself does not inherently create different levels of legal privilege based on citizenship status. The principle focuses on equality before the law.

While the rule of law often accompanies systems where government powers are limited (such as in constitutional democracies), the core definition of the rule of law is more about the application of law equally to all individuals rather than the limitation of government power.
