The slow and hidden road to serfdom

Without the rule of law limiting discretionary powers government agencies, but also other organizations and in-dividuals no individual freedom is possible. If re-presentatives or private persons can order at their discretion individuals to behave in certain ways, liberty guaranteed. As Immanuel Kant expressed it «man free if he needs obey person solely law.» And even indi-viduals are only obliged follow law, al-ways threatened these laws be changed arbitrarily by any authorities. This true for de-mocracies which duly elected parliamentary majorities (that minorities) allowed introduce new change old ones relating sphere human activities. The problem has been clearly stated Alexis de Tocqueville (1945, vol. I, p.270):
 When I see that right means absolute command conferred on power whatever, called a people king, an aristocracy democracy, monarchy republic, say there germ tyranny, seek live elsewhere, under laws.
 Similar ideas Friedrich v. Hayek (1944, p. 62):
 Rule Law thus implies limits scope legislation: restricts kind general rules known as formal excludes legislation either directly aimed particular people, enabling anybody use coercive state purpose such discrimination.
