APAD: No man is above the law.

The Web site where I found this expression said that it dated back to President

Theodore Roosevelt's Third Annual Message to Congress on Dec 7, 1903. If so, it

is young and maybe not time-tested enough to qualify for a proverb.

 

Its sentiment, however, must have endured eons. For the Chinese, its execution

depends less on people's faith in impersonal systems, but incarnates in rare

individuals, e.g., Mr. Bao, a bureaucrat in the Song Dynasty.

Everyone is under nature's law. No escape

Wow. That's a great one and instantly puts me at peace :-)

No man is above the law？For the Chinese, it's an exception.

especially in the current political environment.

Well said.

There's an unbridgeable gap between

a land of law and a land by law.

away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in

We Americans should never take the rule of law for granted.

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of

the United States of America. It superseded the Articles of

Couldn’t agree with you more ~

Confederation, the nation's first constitution, in 1789.

The Constitution serves as a fundamental framework

for a nation's governance.

That said, the Constitution is and has to be reviewed and

even revised from time to time when warranted.

Agree ! The key word : "when warranted".

The Constitution should not be amended haphazardly

Unlike in China where the Constitution is frequently amended

the United States Constitution remains relatively stable.

China and the political regime of China aren't the same.

Law is made by man. So an abstract man can be above the law.

if such abstract man exists.

They sure do, but we don't mind them :-)
