Max Weber on Governance - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas III 233 Rule/Governance/Weber/Habermas: the most important characteristics of legal governance are for Max Weber: - Any right can become a statute - The law as a whole consists of a system of abstract rules, the administration of justice consists in the application of these rules to individual cases. - Civil servants are not personal rulers. The administration is also bound by rules of law and is conducted in accordance with principles that can be specified and are not disapproved of. - The people who obey the governance constituted by law are citizens and not subjects. They obey the law, not the officials. - Any measure of interference with freedom or property must be justified.
