Re: Foundation for law
The sole purpose of a legal system is to inform people of the rules that will govern their actions, and to administer and enforce those rules.
The alternative to this "rule of law" is "the rule of men" where people are subject to the arbitrary decisions of other people instead of objective rules.
The rules themselves cannot assure any outcome.
Trying to 'design' a legal system is a fools errand, similar to trying to 'manage' and economy, or set prices, or gaurantee certain outcomes.
