Later, there are other aspects of the view, giving the law a multidimensional perspective. Meanwhile, Thailand's Rule Of Law focuses on the legal dimension and uses the law as a starting point for creating the concept of law in society, which is opposed by foreign countries where the Rule Of Law was created by society before the legal system was later adopted.
