If you're referring to "spirit of the law" vs. "letter of the law", it's very simple. The spirit of the law refers to the reason the law was made, while the letter of the law refers to the exact words the law was written with.
no
The letter of the law is just what it says. It is the law, and must be obeyed without question. The spirit of the law is going beyond doing just what the law says, and doing what it says with a willing spirit, and with love for God and our fellow human beings.

Rule of Law is a state of order in which events conform to the law. As we can see from Dicey's 3 main concept of Rule of Law, we can conclude that rule of law means everyone is equal to the law, including the executive, judiciary and legislation. The law is the supreme authority and no one can go above it. Rule by law is means that no one is immune to the law set by the government. The government use the law in the most convenient way for them to govern a particular state, meaning, they set the rules and they are the supreme authority. They use the law to meet their own needs. The law is a tool of government.
Not unless you KNOWINGLY accept it, or buy it, with the intent of passing it. The crime is in KNOWINGLY passing it.
Hypothesis
Judges rule on the intent of the law, when that intent is not apparent to the people concerned. And the final authority is the Supreme Court. The law means what they say it means.
The intent is the area not specciffically specified but still covered while the letter is spelled out and very specific.
