In more recent times‚ it is Albert V. Dicey who is credited with providing the logical foundation upon which the modern notion of the rule of law is based. Dicey did not invent the idea of the rule of law but he popularized it in the late nineteenth century. His book‚ Introduction

that the EU law is higher than the UK law because when the UK joined the EU on 1 January 1973‚ the UK gave up some sovereignty on making law to the EU. An Example can be seen in the case of Costa v ENEL (1964). In this case the Italian government tried to argue that its courts should follow Italian law as conflicted to community law but the ECJ ruled stating that as joining the EC the members sign and limit their sovereign rights for making law although in limited fields. The EU law also has major

OHM’S LAW INTRODUCTION Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage across the two points‚ and inversely proportional to the resistance between them provided the temperature remains constant. The mathematical equation that describes this relationship is: where V is the potential difference measured across the resistance in units of volts; I is the current through the resistance in units of amperes and
