    Solution

    A.V. Dicey, a prominent British jurist, introduced the concept of the 'Rule of Law' in the 19th century. This concept is fundamental in democratic societies and emphasizes that the law should govern a nation, as opposed to being governed by arbitrary decisions of individual government officials. Dicey's theory on the Rule of Law is characterized by three primary principles: no one can be punished except through due process of law, everyone is equal before the law, and the rights of individuals are predominantly determined by legal rules rather than arbitrary governance.
