One of the main reasons is the way other countries now govern their government. The factors of the rule of law are numerous and vast. They include limited government powers, order and security, and open government. Another major reason we now think our Founding Fathers chose the Rule of Law over the Rule of Man is the way our government officials, old and new, act as the way of our government. The final reason why people now think that the reason they chose the rule of law is because if we were governed under the rule of law following the constitution it would be more difficult because of the way our government would be designed. They thought the rule of law would be the best solution. Now as we look back at the reasons why the Founding Fathers chose the Rule of Law over the Rule of Men, we should be grateful that they did because if they had taken another path with our government, who knows where we would be now. Foreign countries that function like us function successfully, thanks to the path we started at the end of the 1700s. We must therefore say how lucky we are to live in the best country ever for the way we are managed and for the choices that our Fathers Founders did it in about 250 years.
