Early Americans felt that the rule of law was central (or very important) to the concept of democracy.
早期美國(guó)人覺(jué)得“法治”是民主觀念的核心。
They felt that equality, which is the idea that everyone should be treated in the same way under the law, was the only way to be fair to all Americans in all aspects (or parts) of life.
他們覺(jué)得依照法律每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該受到同等對(duì)待的平等思想，是公平地對(duì)待所有層面的美國(guó)人的唯一途徑。
In the United States today, police officers, the president, normal citizens, and everyone else must follow the same laws.
如今，美國(guó)的警察、總統(tǒng)、合法公民以及其他人都必須遵守相同的法律。
No matter how much money or power a person has, he or she cannot be exempt from following (or not have to follow) the law.
不管某人是多么地財(cái)大勢(shì)大，他或她都必須守法。
The "rule of law" also means that all Americans have the right to the same protections under the law.
“法治”也意味著所有美國(guó)人都有受到法律同等保護(hù)的權(quán)利。
This idea of equal protection under the law is known as due process.
依法受到同等保護(hù)的思想稱(chēng)為“法定訴訟程序”。
Due process is one of the rights guaranteed to all Americans in the Bill of Rights.
“法定訴訟程序”是《權(quán)利法案》賦予所有美國(guó)人的權(quán)利之一。
Rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion are better known, but due process is one of the most commonly used rights in the United States.
言論自由和宗教自由等權(quán)利更為人熟知，但“法定訴訟程序”卻是美國(guó)行使最普遍的權(quán)利之一。
In fact, these are some common phrases that Americans use to express the ideas of due process and the rule of law: "Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law" and "Justice (or the legal system) is blind."
事實(shí)上，“法律面前人人平等”和“司法公平公正”是美國(guó)人用來(lái)傳達(dá)“法定訴訟程序”和“法治”觀念最常用到的句子。
