The rule of law (i.e., "Republicanism") is that form of government which equally subjects **all** conagents to a publicly published body of law (constitution + legislation) which all conagents can read, understand and make preparations to govern **themselves** by. It differs from other forms of government in that every other form of government is rule by whim - whether rule by whim of a single individual or rule by whim of a group or collection of groups.

`WS` rejects all forms of rule by whim, including rule by whim of a majority (i.e., "Democracy"). `WS` establishes a republic where conagents are ruled by a publicly published document and not by arbitrary whim. The separation of powers in a Republic pits contending interests against one another in an intentional gridlock to ensure that any legislative changes which **do** get past the gridlock are those with extremely broad consensus. A republic's constitution applies equally to all and most importantly, resists **impulsive** changes and protects minorities against the tyranny of majorities by intentionally engaging rival interests in political gridlock using the separation of powers. `WS` rejects all forms of rule by whim, including rule by whim of a majority (i.e., "Democracy"). `WS` establishes a republic where conagents are ruled by a publicly published document and not by arbitrary whim.

A republic's constitution applies equally to all and most importantly, resists **impulsive** changes and protects minorities against the tyranny of majorities (aka, "Democracy") by identifying rival minority and majority interests and giving them representation in government, so as to maximize intentional political gridlock using the separation of powers.
