Principle of Good Government # 22: “A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men.” Dr. Skousen wrote: “To be governed by the whims of men is to be subject to the ever-changing capriciousness of those in power. This is ruler’s law at its worst. In such a society nothing is dependable, no rights secure, with everything established in a constant state of flux. Nothing becomes fixed and predictable for the future.” The Founders, and their forbearers, had a different viewpoint. They defined law as a “rule of action” which was intended to be as binding on the ruler as it was on the people. John Locke wrote, “Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to everyone of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it.”  The 2006 election reiterated this principle.
