"Imagine for a second that every law could be enforced. That nobody was able to deviate from the Glorious Collection of Laws, Rules, and Regulations. How would legislators behave in such a society? Would they seek to be more moral, take a higher ground, re-evaluate if laws were wrong? Or would they just keep on endless tinkering like a teenager watches what happens to an ant farm when you poke a stick in it?
A society works because of general moral agreement at the very-broad-stroke level, with continuous changes to sense of justice and fairness happening continuously at the smaller levels. But legislators are generally not content with legislating against theft and murder and arson at the broad-stroke level; they are also legislating against the wrong curvature of bananas and the irregular placement of doorbells."

Laws need to be broken if they are to be moved.
