> But the answer is not to stop having laws.

Why?

Serious question. When are laws too many? (According to some history, 10 laws were too many and most people were ignoring them.)

Are a trillion laws too many? A billion? A million? A thousand? What if we had a thousand laws, but each law had a million pages?

(I'm pretty sure we're at over a billion pages of laws if we take into account all the laws in the world - as multinational companies are supposed to do.)

When, exactly, should we say "this is excessive"?

Never? Counting laws is an exercise of futility. Content, not numbers should matter. If it takes a billion small laws to cover everything needed, so be it, who cares?
