Consider this... You've likely heard the phrase "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." Yet we have mountains of new laws being printed every year. There are far more laws than anyone can be aware of.
I am thinking if the laws are so numerous that no one can actually know all of the laws then it is likely most of those laws should not exist.
I also would say that if the people that voted for a law are ignorant about the content of the law they voted for then the law should be invalid.
Haha... I find myself thinking that a vote for a law should require a randomly generated on the spot questionnaire about the law before the vote for the law is accepted. Prove that the person voting for the law actually knows what the law is by giving each such person a randomly generated questionnaire. How many of our laws would actually pass then? Probably very few.
Perhaps they might make the laws smaller and in very clear language. That sounds good to me.
Perhaps the "representatives" that are voting would actually have to know something about their job.
Any such questionnaire should be timed much like a captcha or similar mechanism. This would make it so they can't simply use in ear monitors and staff to answer the questions easily.
I think we can eliminate 99%+ of our laws and likely be much better off.
A new Constitutional Amendment...
"Representatives cannot farm out their duties on voting on laws to other people or entities. If a Representative wishes to vote for or against a law or bill then that vote must be done by them. Proxy votes are not permitted."
EDIT: A NO vote should also require answering a questionnaire. That way they cannot simply vote NO to block something without reading it and knowing about it.
