While I can certainly agree that legislatures should strive to write laws as legibly as possible so that the general populous can understand the laws of their land, I also think we should be educated on how to read laws, where to find the information, etc, basically civics lessons. But to say that complicated laws are useless to society is beyond silly.
Read what I wrote: “too complicated _to_be_followed”.
Complicated laws should correspond to the complexity of the situation that society wants to regulate. Presumably, only those in society that engage in that area will be effected and know what the law means. Otherwise, you have a bureaucratic system which chokes its own people and it’s own growth.
