Certain people are above the law,
some are behind the law,
others understand ( interpret) the law but
most stand under the law.

The four castes are:
1) the most powerful,
2) the ‘illuminated’ ones,
3) the lawyers and politicians
4) the people.

The philosophy of law is based on the premise that
the first three categories are trustworthy
and the largest category, the people cannot be trusted.

Proof is for example the Basic Law in Germany.
Article one, first paragraph:
1 ) Human dignity is inviolable . To respect and protect it is the duty of all state authority.

Most of the articles that follow deny the dignity of man
in varying degrees by subjecting man to arbitrary rules
instead of following sound principles.
