The idea behind "the rule of law" is that it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life. "We live under a rule of law, not of men. " American teachers tell their students. The students accept the idea. They believe that "no man is above the law" , and that laws apply equally to all people no matter how wealthy they are, what their personal connections are, or what their
stations
in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many foreigners could not understand, that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behaviour in connection with what was called " Watergate Scandal (水门事件)". Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.
The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures. To get a job with government institutions, for example, or to get government funding for a research project, one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.
This is not to say that personal contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed.
They
may. What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree. In reality, connections can sometimes help a person get a government job. Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behaviour that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that it does.
The main idea of the last paragraph is______.
选项
A、Americans are idealistic(理想主义的) about laws
B、rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behaviour
C、the American employment system is unfair
D、laws are more important than personal connections or influence in most cases in the U. S.
答案
D
解析
根据最后一段可知,在美国的现实社会中,人际关系、财富和社会影响也影响着法律法规的实施,但整体来说,美国人还是很为美国的法治感到自豪的,法治依然盛行。由此可推知,本段主要讲述的是:在大多情况下,法律在美国要比人际关系和社会影响更重要。故选D。
