The Milgram Experiment suggests that 2/3 of the people can be easily fooled into making meritless decisions that lead to the deaths of innocent people.
All law written without a 2/3 majority is suspect.
It’s kind of like throwing a Christian to the lions and cheering his demise. It’s like giving a thumbs down to a gladiator that has fought poorly or cheering an Aztec sacrifice. And 2/3 of the people are, at the urging of an authority (a judge, politician or a policeman), sufficiently sadistic to participate in the most heinous of crimes.
