Lack of the rule of law can be found in both democracies and monarchies, for example, because of neglect or ignorance of the law, and the rule of law is more apt to decay if a government has insufficient corrective mechanisms for restoring it.
缺乏法治可以在民主国家和专制国家中找到，例如由于忽视或无视法律，如果政府没有足够的纠正机制来恢复法律，法治就更容易衰退。
