Zionist Leader Klatzkin wrote in "Der Jude" in 1916: "Only the Jewish Code rules our life. Whenever other laws are forced upon us we regard them as dire oppression and constantly dodge them. We form in ourselves a closed juri- dical and business corporation. A strong wall built by us separates us from the peoples of the lands in which we live — and behind that wall is a Jewish State."

IMHO the problem lies in the concept of modern statehood itself. In the past, there were very few laws, because most problems were settled via some traditions, and people lived more in tribes than in societies. Very few rules are needed to make a tribe work.

However, modern societies are much larger, is far more complex, has problems that are far more complex, and therefore needs a legal system that's far more complex. Additionally, they try to create a one-size-that-fits-all legal framework, which of course in reality is a one-size-that-fits-nobody framework.

So normal people don't know how the legal framework they're living under REALLY works, because it's too complex and they haven't studied law, and they also have less resources to pay for lawyers and courts. And even if they would, the legal framework may be complex, but, like everything made by politicians, is of shitty quality, and too much poking around in it's intricacies would lead to all kinds of bullshit results and feedback loops. So judges really really don't like to follow the law to the letter and create and create new precedents and loopholes.

But if you're rich, you can pay for enough lawyer-workhours to force judges to do that.

And then there's of course the human scum that ends up as lawmakers... But they're just a smaller factor. Making good laws for a group of the size of a society is impossible because the task is too complex for our brains.
