Which of the following are regarded as the main features of the "Rule of Law"?1.Limitation of Powers2.Equality before law3.People's responsibility to the Government4.Liberty and civil rightsSelect the correct answer using the code given below:

1. A

   1 and 3 only

   (a) 1 and 3 only. Limitation of powers is a rule-of-law idea, but ‘people’s responsibility to the Government’ is the wrong direction (government is responsible to the people). Dropping equality and liberty also underfills Dicey’s cluster. This is not the key.

2. B

   2 and 4 only

   (b) 2 and 4 only. Equality and liberty are central, but limitation of arbitrary power is also a main feature. Omitting 1 makes the code incomplete.

3. C

   1, 2 and 4 only

   (c) 1, 2 and 4 only. (c) Official key: Rule of law means limited powers, equality before the law, and protection of liberty and civil rights. People’s responsibility to the government is not a defining feature. 1, 2 and 4 only is the stored key.

4. D

   1, 2, 3 and 4

   (d) 1, 2, 3 and 4. Statement 3 does not belong, so the all-correct code is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) 1, 2 and 4 only. Rule of law limits power, treats persons equally, and secures liberty and civil rights. It does not mean the people are responsible to the government. Honour the stored letter (c).
