(b)2 and 4 only

Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1, 2 and 4 only
The classic Diceyan elements of the Rule of Law include limitation of powers (to avoid arbitrariness), equality before the law, and protection of individual liberty/civil rights. ‘People’s responsibility to the Government’ is NOT counted among the core attributes because in a democracy the Government is accountable to the people, not vice-versa. Hence statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct. ([aspirantforum.wordpress.com](https://aspirantforum.wordpress.com/2018/06/09/upsc-prelims-exam-gs-paper-2018-answer-and-explanation/?utm_source=openai))
