3. 76 (thanks to conformity to the principles of legality--i.e., the requirements of the RoL--laws attain both "efficiency from the point of view of the ruler" (Hart's 'craft of poisoning' analogy; efficiency at making people do what the ruler wants them to do) and "efficiency for the subjects" ("the purpose of advancing not the ruler's own aims, but of making room in the ruler's calculations--respectful room--for the purposes of the individuals who live under his power", my emphasis)). It is worth here to quote at length Raz's statement of this point.According to Raz (1977, 221-2) "observance of the rule of law is necessary if the law is to respect human dignity. Respecting human dignity entails treating humans as persons capable of planning and plotting their future. Thus, respecting people's dignity entails respecting their autonomy, their right to control their future". There are, Raz argues, two main ways in which disregard for the RoL "violates human dignity": by generating uncertainty and by frustrating expectations the law itself has encouraged (a kind of "entrapment": this expresses "disrespect", "disrespect for people's autonomy");Reciprocity and fairness (as realized in the operation of laws as neutral interaction devices stabilizing mutual expectations; above, s. 4), too, involve--and express--respect for human beings as responsible agents, entitled to make autonomous choices,1969
