states can choose whether to follow national laws

people can legally break laws they do not agree with

even the president can be arrested and placed on trial

trials are not often necessary because the law is the judge

Answer 1

Even the president can be arrested and placed on trial.

Answer 2

"Rule of law" is the idea that nobody is above the law, no matter what position you may hold, how rich you may be, etc. If you commit a crime, you're going to be tried and convicted, no matter who you are.

That means that if the president commits a crime, even he or she can be arrested and placed on trial.
