Rule of law; a comparison

Fiat rule of law... Capricious rule of law as laid down by individual, unelected, unaccountable men or women who hold power, who rule. Arbitrary rule of law. Law of privilege which doesn't take inalienable rights into account. Statism.

American Constitutional rule of law... Body of written law that forms the unchanging basis, the set of core principles upon which all law shall be based, those laws being in accord with the United States Constitution (which includes the Bill of Rights - see the preamble to the BoR...) which defines a government that exists to serve the people by protecting individual inalienable rights.

One definition of Hell is "the impossibility of reason". Without a basis in a set of immutable, constant principles and truths, there is no basis for reason. Therefore, when we abandon the very principles upon which this nation was founded, we have thrown out all logic, all reasoning for the very being of our nation and we condemn ourselves to statist hell, for the foundations of our country are those that guarantee individual freedom, they are the principles of liberty. - Anonymous

The law perverted!  And the police powers of the state perverted along with it!  The law, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow and entirely contrary purpose!  The law become the weapon of every kind of greed!  Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish! 

If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow citizens to it. - Frederic Bastiat, "The Law"
