Q1. The concept of “equality before law” is an element of the concept of “Rule of Law”, which was propounded by:
A Paul Janet
B A. V. Dicey Correct
C Lord Acton
D Ivor Jennings
Explanation
A. V. Dicey is associated with the classical exposition of the Rule of Law. In his formulation, equality before law means that every person, regardless of status, is subject to the ordinary law and ordinary courts. Paul Janet is linked with political philosophy, not this doctrine. Lord Acton is remembered for ideas on liberty and the corrupting effect of power. Ivor Jennings was an important constitutional scholar, but he is not the propounder of Dicey’s Rule of Law formulation. Therefore the concept named in the question points to A. V. Dicey.
