Rule of law means that the law is supreme while equality before the law means that all are equal before the law.
Explanation:
Rule of law implies that no one is greater than an established law in a nation. Every individual is subject to the law, including people in power, lawmakers, those who enforce the law as well as judges. It opposes arbitrary power and establishes the law as supreme over all.
Equality before the law implies that all individuals are equal before the eyes of the law and no discrimination is allowed. In this case, no preference or privileges can be drawn in favor of any individual.
