"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws are so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action, but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?"
James Madison, 4th President of the United States (1751-1836)

Note: The Founding Fathers did not regard "the people" as a mass of brain-dead, American-Idol worshippers. They respected "the people", and sought to protect the rights and power of "the people." We should live up to the respect they had for us, and the duty they entrusted to us.
