Yes, but so is not having a state. We need to be able to iterate. Personally I'd like to try limiting the size of the corpus of law. The consistion should say something like all laws on the books must fit within 10kB zipped, and 100kB unzipped and be comprehensible to a median 10th grader.

That at least limits how invasive a government can be. You'd need some additional protections so the law can't be "we can do what we want."

They already tried that, the lawyers ignored it...

So unless you intend to hang them when they do, good luck...

Who tried it? I considered having the limit include case law as well, but I haven't thought it through as well as I should since I am not in charge of anything.

The whole keep it legible to the common man was done the last time, it didn't stay that way as is clearly evident & they can't/won't even follow their own rules...

I can live perfectly well without the state. Just because others can't doesn't mean I should have to suffer.

My legislation limitation would be that any bill longer than 3 pages of 12 point type double spaced would need to be made public for a minimum of 14 days plus another two per page over 3.

Yes, this would make most budget bills impossible to pass. 😎
