Therättssamhället

Therättssamhället is a term that can be translated from Swedish as "the legal society" or "the society of law." It refers to a societal structure where the rule of law is a fundamental principle governing the behavior of both individuals and institutions. In such a society, laws are established, applied, and enforced in a consistent and predictable manner, ensuring that all citizens are subject to the same legal framework.

Key characteristics of therättssamhället include an independent judiciary, which is responsible for interpreting and applying laws without undue influence from political or other powers. It also involves transparent legal processes, access to justice for all, and respect for fundamental human rights as enshrined in law. The concept emphasizes that power should be exercised within legal boundaries and that no one is above the law. This framework aims to protect citizens from arbitrary decisions and to foster a stable and just society.
