What would happen if every congressperson— representative or senator—who signed a law also had to state that he or she had read the law in its entirety in its final form?
Would laws be shorter and more comprehensible?
Would laws be more in the interests of the country as a whole and less in the hands of special interest groups? If not, why not?
Would regional and special interest groups have to make their cases to the nation as a whole?
Would laws never get passed? Would they be passed more easily?
How could such a system be tested or implemented?
