Answer: 5. rule of law.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the above-mentioned treaties and documents contain democratic elements in their basic principles. Democracy is a system based on the rule of law. Thus, for example, the Magna Carta medieval document limited the king's reign and opened the possibility of answering before the law. Such rules are necessary for a democratic system in which the rule of law applies and the equality of all people before the law, regardless of their position in society.
