The following responses describe the rule of law:

  1. The law is the ultimate authority.
  2. The Supreme Court can strike down laws if they violate the Constitution.

The other statements do not accurately represent the rule of law:

  • "The president is the ultimate authority" suggests an authoritarian perspective.

  • "Citizens can be unfairly punished if they break too many laws" does not align with the rule of law, which emphasizes fair treatment and due process.
