Besides a happy policy as to civil government, it is necessary to institute a system of law and jurisprudence founded in justice, equity, and public right.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Rule of law is the most important element in any civil society.
The government, under my leadership, will act to implement the rule of law and to maintain the independence of the judicial system, which is one of the pillars of maintaining a democratic system.
In justice to human society it may perhaps be said of almost all the polities and civil institutions in the world, however imperfect, that they have been founded in and carried on with very considerable wisdom.
Society needs both justice and compassion, a head and a heart, if it is to be civilised.
As I understand, the role of the federal judiciary, the role of our court system, is to provide justice.
A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.
Society cannot exist without law. Law is the bond of society: that which makes it, that which preserves it and keeps it together. It is, in fact, the essence of civil society.
The Chinese government attaches importance to, and protects, human rights. We have incorporated these lines into the Chinese constitution, and we also implement the stipulation in real earnest. I think for any government, what is most important is to ensure that its people enjoy each and every right given to them by the constitution.
Good governance with good intentions is the hallmark of our government. Implementation with integrity is our core passion.
The only reason of the institution of civil government; and the only rational ground of submission to it, is the common safety and utility.
