A CSS ruleset is various affirmations to various pieces or elements of the document. The objective is to apply a bunch of properties for certain distinct qualities to a solitary, or a particular arrangement of components in the connected HTML page. 

Visualization of CSS Ruleset :

CSS ruleset

The “.” in the beginning indicates that the rule created will be a class, also “container” indicates the name of the selector. Similarly “first-child” indicates the pseudo-class, and elements inside curly brackets are elements of a declaration block, which contains some CSS properties and their corresponding values. The CSS ruleset will be applied when the selector name is called on the main HTML page. 

CSS Ruleset is the main building block of the CSS stylesheet.

Example 1: The following code demonstrates the application of CSS ruleset on various HTML elements. The class name is used to give property and its corresponding values. The :first-child selector is used to selecting those elements which are the first-child elements as implemented below for the HTML “p” element.

<html>
  
<head>
    <title>Rulesets in CSS</title>
    <style>
        h1 {
            color: green;

        /* Selector */
        p:first-child{ 
             
            /* Declaration-block */
            background-color: green;
            color: white;
            font-size: 15px;
            border-radius: 50px        
            ;
            text-transform: uppercase                
            ;
