What is the point of a law if it is kept secret? Doesn't secrecy defeat the purpose of the concept of having laws and of due process? How did they establish the concept of secret laws and how are these laws passed if not in secret?
- MichaelMoser123 10y agoIn socialist countries there were many unwritten regulations/instructions - what is allowed/verboten in politics? The law would not state that explicitly because the policy of the party could change suddenly (like with the Molotov - Ribbentrop packt) and the law is not that easily adjusted. Therefore behavior was regulated by taboos - don't say anything that is not stated by the state media, better don't say anything because politics keep changing. I wonder if secret laws are a move in the same direction.
