The Rule of Law
The Constitution guarantees the American people a system of government where each branch of government respects the powers and authority of the others and all Americans are free to express their political beliefs. We must preserve these principles.
Campaign Legal Center is actively engaged in the fight to defend the rule of law and political freedoms and safeguard constitutional checks and balances.
In our country, no one is above the law. The rule of law isn’t just a legal principle, it’s a safeguard. It ensures all people — including our most powerful public officials — are subject to the same laws and those laws are equally enforced. The rule of law also protects the rights that define us as Americans, from the freedom to speak out and express political dissent to the right to choose our own leaders.
Campaign Legal Center is committed to protecting the political freedoms of all Americans, defending the rule of law and preserving the checks and balances that prevent any one branch of government — or any one individual — from becoming too powerful. To that end, Campaign Legal Center is litigating against unlawful overreach and threats to the freedoms of all Americans, challenging dangerous legislation, and promoting solutions that will strengthen our democracy.
