These two divergent schools of thought, though, primarily came out of the American and French Revolutions. The French had very different ideas than the Americans in how to best govern their respected societies. Here, we turned to the rule of law. In France, it was the rule of elites. They traded in one elite (a King) for other elites. You still have your elites! Very different sets of circumstances, imo, gave rise to these different schools of thought, but it doesn’t change the facts that now, more than ever, europe needs to learn the value of the rule of law.
