Because the people that make the laws each have thier own morality. There are many countries ruled by dictators and as such what they say goes. It's also true that a lot of laws are based on religious values (many of the liberal countries have laws based on religion - eg UK on Christianity. Many religions prohibit homosexuality, so do the laws. \nBesides, homosexuality was illegal in lots of countries until very recently.

The rule of law is a principle founded on the plains of England in the Magna Carta.  It is exemplified by countries like the United States and Australia.\nIt simply means that all people within the citizenship are equal in the eyes of the law.  It is why the statue of Justice has a blind-fold, so that she cannot see how pretty you are or what color your skin is.  She cannot tell how much money you have, either.\nEqual rights under the law means that everyone is subject to the same treatment in court and by extension, in society in general.

That's a very strange question... it depends on the country and therefore legal system and exactly what you're getting at.

It's not just the U.S.  The same is true in England and all countries that have adopted the English common law system.

Most countries have the laws you mention; they will vary from one country to another. Unfortunately as in the west there are differences over what is just. For example in parts of the US it's seen as acceptable to execute teenagers with learning difficulties in other parts of the US and in Europe this is seen as barbaric.\nAnother issue is that people break the law; again this happens all over the world. \nOn top of that you have the people in control who have a vested interest in preventing change; again this applies to the the west as well as the east.

Every place on earth is owned and governed by some country or other.  Figure out where you want to go, find out what country it's in, and check their immigration laws.

This is an interesting question. International law is seemingly in the process of being written. It is tough to decide what really is a violation of international law.\n\nThis also brings up the point of the idea of whether country's are sovereign or not. Is a country bound by laws made by an International group?

This is a trick question.\n\nAustralia became independent in 1901.\n\nSo, they were subject to the laws of Great Britain before then. Australia did not make their own laws until 1901.

The legal system is not solely devoted to protecting individual rights.  It also regulates privileges, agencies, corporations, etc.\n\nWhich right of law-abiding citizens personal peace and security is being violated by the American legal system that you are referring to?  This question is too vague.
