I always wondered why America was better at rule of law than others. I used to think it was its Constitution and its Institutions. I realized during Trump's first presidency that they mean nothing without people "simply deciding" to respect them and showing deference.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.
