You need a lawyer because the laws are so complicated. The laws were made complicated by lawyers. I would much rather have a few simple laws, worded in plain English much like the first ten amendments, so that I could represent myself in legal matters.

This may be roughly equivalent to saying, “I would rather have a programming language that describes what I want in plain english, so I can program myself without hiring a programmer to do it for me.“ Even the first ten amendments, "simple" as they are, have mountains of debate and legalese surrounding them.
