Jean-Marc Coicaud examines the issueby looking at the conditions necessary for a 'rule of law' to exist. He argues that in a democracy the greater the powers given to a political leader, the greater that leader's responsibilities toward society. In order to enjoy legitimacy therefore, our rulers must assume these responsibilities and be held account for them.
