RULE
(bouvier) | RULE. This is a metaphorical expression borrowed from mechanics. The rule,
in its proper and natural sense, is an instrument by means of which may be
drawn from one point to another, the shortest possible line, which is called
a straight line.
2. The rule is a means of comparison in the arts to judge whether the
line be straight, as it serves in jurisprudence, to judge whether an action
be just or unjust, it is just or right, when it agrees with the rule, which
is the law. It is unjust and wrong, when it deviates from it. lt is the same
with our will or our intention.
