Adherents of democracy and the rule of law argue that government must operate on predictable, general, and applicable rules established in advance to ensure equality, uphold laws and human rights, and deliver prompt justice. Thus, democracy and the rule of law are seen as inseparable and interdependent by political scholars, analysts, and politicians.

Military coups, authoritarian rule, bureaucratic interference, and political intolerance have prevented the establishment of stable political institutions.
