What if all laws (except for the Constitution) automatically sunsets after a period of time, say, 20 years?
The job of the legislation is to create laws, by definition. So is it any wonder we end up with an accumulation of laws, some outdated? With an automatic sunset of all laws, this keeps the legislation busy without burdening us with an accumulation of outdated laws.
If it's really important, let the law be renewed after twenty years.
What would be good would be to have new laws sunset over a shorter period of time, say 5 years, and then they would renew for a longer period of time each time they were renewed.
