The rule of law and corruption

Summarizing, the rule of law is the one that rests on the legal system, on the separation of State bodies, on the independence of the exercise of functions; based on a harmonious collaboration that does not imply vassalage, but the democratic search for the common good.

However, the above is not enough to define a rule of law. This claims an element that is not taken for granted to justify its existence, and that is morality.

I am not one of those who think that the law is divorced from the truth and that they are two entities that have separate opinions. Morality is the principle of law. It is the sum of values ​​by which the associates conceived a higher, coercive organism that would protect them.

The law protects the legal assets that explain the existence of a company. Those who unite in society respond to a community of roots and dreams. This is how the nation first arises: beings with common cradles and graves, with common values. And the State arises when a legally conceived entity, sovereignly consolidated, has the contractual mission of guaranteeing human values, including human decency.

The most beautiful mission of the rule of law is to guarantee harmonious and honest human coexistence.

Rule of law and morality were born brothers. There are no confrontations between them, it occurs between law and immorality. The rule of law cannot succumb to the embarrassing tentacles of corruption. In each national chapter in which corruption has prevailed, the rule, of law.
