Law protects

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

The rule of law helps obtain justice for the poor and powerless. Just outside Buenos Aires, Argentina, the area of La Cava lacks the protection of the rule of law.

Without clear property title, it's hard to prove your property belongs to you. Without lawful enforcing of contracts, it's hard to go after the compensation you negotiated. Without access to courts, it's hard to pursue your "just reward."
