As a citizen of a democratic country, I love the idea of mandatory sunsets. I hate how easy it is for legislators to pass laws but how very difficult it is to repeal them. But, beyond that, I'd like to see the law be self-repairing. There's a legal concept that goes back to the Romans that ignorance isn't a valid defense. Maybe it worked well back then, but not when the legal code expands as it does in modern democratic countries. The law should be a manageable size that is largely understood and agreed to by everyone. In that vein, I've always wanted a built in system to 'garbage collect' laws that were dated or misunderstood. In a simple implementation, a government department would poll the citizen body for understanding or agreement with a law. If the polling doesn't reach a threshold, then the law is purged. |
