universalness

Applies to everything

The quality or state of being universal—applying to all cases, all people, or all things without exception.

Universalness emphasizes completeness of scope: The universalness of the law means no one is exempt.

The word is rarer than its synonym universality, which sounds more natural in most contexts.
