On the other hand, the concept of the rule of lawis the most important foundation of the democratic operationsand theories, but there are different opinions with it. The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the operation of democracy in its attitude for the rule of law based on the conservatism. The focus of the study is not that the definition of the rule of law, but rather to explore what the attitude of the rule of law in the way of conservatism. This thesis, in addition to elaborate exposition of conservative thinkers, discussed further on the social contract theories, the democratic theories andthe constitutionalism to explore the concept ofthe rule of law.Furthermore, tocriticizethe concept of the rule of law in conservatism based on liberalism, socialism, and positivism.保守主義法治柏克歐克夏史特勞斯conservatismrule of lawE.
