Simple law is designed, not shortened.
The aim is minimum legal burden: fewer forms, permissions, delays, exceptions and personal judgments—not the fewest words at any cost.
Define the failure
State the observable problem, its scale, who is harmed and the weakness or incentive causing it.
Research mechanisms
Study current official rules and reliable results in relevant countries. Record the hidden systems that make them work.
Choose the smallest mechanism
Compare plausible approaches and remove the most harmful discretion with the least burden.
Place the rule
Put permanent powers and rights in the Constitution; keep adjustable amounts and routine procedure in ordinary law.
Attack the design
Test honest use, mistakes, corruption, false accusations, state abuse, evasion, outages, disability and behavior after people adapt.
Classify the flaws
Separate fatal problems from simple repairs, implementation needs, transition issues and minor edge cases.
Design operation and transition
Name the trigger, actor, deadline, record, automatic result, remedy, review, cost, capacity need and start date.
Draft, render and test
Apply the quality checklist to the complete A4 packet and revise until every page is readable and complete.
Record the status
Use exact labels: Idea, Under research, Proposed draft, Current agreed draft or Replaced.
The rendered packet is the final test.
Page A is one page when possible and two at the absolute maximum. Page B is exactly one page. Text never drops below 9.5 points and margins never fall below 14 mm. If the law is still crowded, the design is simplified or divided.
