“Petty laws breed great crimes.”

A perfect example of 'petty' is the attempt to amend the constitution so that burning the American flag is illegal...it violates the First Amendment and the Free Speech clause.

You could also change the word "petty" to many. We now have thousands of laws and the scary part is that congress meets every day to pass more.

Most laws are to 'protect' a private interest rather than an individual right. Since all we do now is vote for money, all the laws are meant to keep us 'in our place' as subservient dependents upon the Nanny-state. Drug prohibition has indeed created the largest criminal networks of corrupted 'officials' ever known on Earth.

hello!who can write an essay on this subject?

Ema, not an essay by any stretch of the imagination but, it is a start to an outline.

“the laws of nature and of nature’s God”, (Declaration of Independence / 1st paragraph) is/are the established jurisprudence of the de jure States united. At such nature’s law, corporeal man can NOT create law ! ! ! Carnal man can only create tyranny.

Nature’s law is a measurement of absolutes (chemistry, physics / science, gravity, math life, liberty, inalienable rights, property, etc.). Can man create physics or gravity? The emphatic answer is NO ! ! ! Man can only create organizational establishments of order concerning laws that already exist. By example: If everyone at Point “A” wanted to travel to Point “B” and vise versa at the same time, there would be mass chaos, death and destruction. When corporeal man recognizes the “law” that already exists in nature, he/she uses tools such as codes, ordinances, regulations, rules, statutes, etc. to create an organizational establishment of order (everyone would travel on the left or the right) If traveling on the left or the right were “law”, everyone either in the UK or USA would be dead (like stepping of a cliff has natural consequences).

A crime is NOT a designation of “law” infringement; A crime is: “an offense against the State ⋯” (Colins Dictionary of Law”) - (The State is an artificial / arbitrary ideology temporally created for administering order. Here, the public phantasm - the “State”, becomes the god that CREATES and GIVES law. Under such perception and execution, the inanimate State takes on the ability to be offended); and, “A crime is an offense against a public law.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary). A public law is: “The laws that cover administration ⋯ and criminal acts. It controls the actions between the citizens of the state and the state itself. It deals with the governments operation and structure.” (Blacks Law Dictionary) Crimes exist in legal fiction /carnal philosophies outside Constitutional law / the laws of nature and of nature’s God. Crime does not deal with law / nature’s law - but rather, deals with State issued edicts.

Petty laws (those false representation of “law” - slave mandates outside nature’s law) breed crimes. The further the philosophy of law edict is from nature’s law, the greater the crime.

With this quote in mind, similarly wouldn't important, insightful, beautiful principles  breed important, insightful, beautiful law-abidenness?
