Rule of law
The reason why answer choice "Rule of law" would be the correct answer because the quote doesn't give close to any support on the rule of law.
The "rule of law" is when everyone, including things like institution and etc, are obligated to following the laws that are placed and would "taker ownership" to the laws that are applied to them. What this means in simple terms is that everyone follows the law, no matter who they are.
The quote doens't mention anything about the rule of law, meaning that the quote doesn't really show how people who are part of the roles in the government wouldn't really need to follow the laws, due to the fact that they never mention it. The quote would show weakness to the rules of law and would show individuals that they are above everyone when they're elected.
The quote would be more supportive to the rules of law if it mentions something about the individuals still obligated to follow the laws like everyone else.
