B. The Constitution allows presidents to be removed from office if they are convicted of a crime.

Explanation:

The rule of the law is a principle in which all people, institutions and the government are equally accountable under the law regardless of economic status, race, genre, age, beliefs, or any other type of condition. This principle aims to guarantee a just government and protect people's fundamental rights.

Thus, option B is the one that most reflects this principle because it proves that not even the head of the State is immune from the law and that their actions have consequences just as everybody else's actions: The law is equally applied to all.
