	In the Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union there is no definition of the rule of law, however, in the author’s opinion, every European lawyer knows the meaning of this phrase. It has a very, very long tradition in European legal culture and is rooted in Roman law and its jurisprudence. The author has used Cicero’s Oratio pro Cluentio to explain the core of the rule of law and its meaning.
