Abstract
This dissertation aims to examine the principle of the Rule of Law through the
Coronavirus Pandemic to conclude that the executive is accountable for the failure of
the handling of the pandemic. The dissertation will demonstrate how the government
has acted unconstitutionally by focusing on the timeline of breaches to the Rule of Law
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the contributions from Raz and Bingham to
understand the rule of law, this dissertation will demonstrate that the executive has
acted undemocratically. The significance of this study is that it informs our theoretical
understanding of the rule of law by introducing the focus of the handling of the COVID�19 pandemic and informs our understanding of the misuse and abuse of power from
