法必明，令必行

法律一定要公正严明，颁布的法令必须有效执行。春秋战国时期，法家主张“以法而治”，偏据雍州的秦国践而行之。商鞅强调“法必明，令必行”，使秦国迅速跻身强国之列，并最终促成了秦始皇统一六国。

The laws shall be just and impartial,and promulgated acts shall be effectively enforced.During the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States periods,the Legalists advocated“rule by law,” which was practiced by the State of Qin,located in the remote Yongzhou.Shang Yang emphasized that “the laws shall be just and impartial and the promulgated acts shall be enforced.” His reform made Qin a powerful state and helped Emperor Qin Shi Huang unify China.
