RE: Fixing our broken system - where to even begin? Part 1: The legal system
A great post. I hope to read the rest of what you intend to write.
Some of the pieces I have thought up:
A law needs to be passed by 90%. (not 51%)
If 90% of the people aren't already following it, then it isn't a law.
All laws should be written in one page, in english.
After the first page, there will probably be many pages of legalese to close the loop holes and state things more exactly.
All of the laws should fit into one book.
If the set of laws is bigger than the bible, no one can read them, let alone follow them.
Thanks a lot. For me as well, the key is simplification and real ownership of the laws by the people. Without this, it requires an army of administrators to manage the law. In addition, people will never understand nor support the laws that are created. This encompasses the vast majority of law that we have already today - bloated legalese that provides negative value on every level.
