Correct answers:
- The law is the ultimate authority.
- The Supreme Court can strike down laws if they violate the Constitution.

Explanation: The rule of law means laws—not individuals—are the highest authority, and legal institutions (like courts) can review and invalidate laws that conflict with the constitution. It does not allow officials to break laws or permit arbitrary/unfair punishment.
