Law Without Power is Not Meaningless



"Power without law is tyranny;
Law without power is meaningless"

I disagree with this quote. Power without law can indeed be considered tyranny. However, law without power isn't necessarily meaningless. Without law there is disorder. Just by existing, law creates order and therefore is meaningful. Even with law and power there can still be tyranny. If I had to choose a character to do without, I must then choose John Wayne, unfortunately.
