Finding of all that information requires a lot of time and dedication. In my country (Ukraine), a lot of information about law development process is available online. For example: http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb2/webproc4_2?id=&pf3516=5091&skl=10 http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb2/webproc4_2?id=&pf3516=509... . It contains notes with explanation about why law need to be changed, but it hard to follow. Some information is available online, some in docx files, some in a random database, some on a video, some is not available at all.
The process is not fully transparent. It means that it's easy to create two laws, which are contradicting each other, or modify laws against their original purpose, etc., because it's hard to see consequences when the law is not transparent. For example, our ex-president Yanukovich just replaced Constitution on president site with an older version. Yes, it's online, but it took 2 years(!) until people noticed that and start to revolt.
In software development, we have test cases, which must be passed. In law development, we have nothing like that.
In my county, we read laws fairly often, because they are easy to get, but most of the time people prefer to read «commentary» — a book about law with comments and cases.
