• The president is the ultimate authority.
• The law is the ultimate authority.
• The Supreme Court can strike down laws if they violate the Constitution.
• Government officials can break the law if they have a good reason.
• Citizens can be unfairly punished if they break too many laws.

Answer 1

The options that describe the rule of law are:

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

These options reflect the principle that the law applies equally to all individuals, including government officials, and that it is the law itself, not individuals, that holds ultimate authority. The other options do not align with the concept of the rule of law.
