In the saga period of Iceland, 1/3rd of the laws had to be recited orally each year in a public assembly. If we had something like that then our legal code would be a lot slimmer.

Slim is not always better once people find exploits and loopholes which helps them but hurts society at large. Sunsetting is better.

But clearly what's going on now with omnibus bills that no one has read in its entirety are ok?
