In the field of law, nomocracy might be the same as "rule of law"

(I haven't seen the word 'nomocracy')

Yes, I mean that, when you mention "the rule of law", I will only think it's foolish and funny

回复 @叶子保护伞：so I wonder how do you think of the rule BY law?

回复 @啊啊是谁都对：Ups, what is the difference between "the rule of law" and "the rule by law" in your opinion?

回复 @圆环之理：.

rule by law: the government use the law to arrange public affairs, but the the power of government itself is not strictly restricted.

rule of law: in the base of rule by law, the power of government should be strictly restricted. （In other words, keep power in the cage of systemic checks）
