This book challenges the historical understanding of American lawmaking, arguing that lawmakers historically considered statutory methodology. In the 19th century, common law, often judge-made and complex, was imposed when simpler laws were desired. The author proposes sensible statute law as a solution, contrasting it with the difficulties of disentangling multiple common law statutes. This approach emphasizes lawmakers creating laws for the common good through sensible procedures, with judges applying these laws rather than creating them.
