These statements can be made with some certainty simply because the leaders of men arenot immune to the reasoning and emotional problems shared by the populace as a whole.Therefore, it is quite possible to point to laws that range from the mildly unjust to the terribly inhuman.More important, perhaps, is the fact that unless laws are periodically challenged—as the authors of theAmerican system recognized—then they don’t get improved.
