The first concept, ie 'equality before the law', has its roots in the British system. This concept refers to the lack of privilege in favor of any individual. This implies that all persons, whether rich or poor, government officials or any non-governmental person, are not above the law, to be treated equally before the law administered by all courts within the country. The second concept ie 'equal protection of law' is inspired by the US Constitution. This refers to equal treatment in equal circumstances in terms of privileges and obligations conferred by law and the same application of the same kind of law to all persons. Let's know more about the Rule of Law Or Enlightenment.
