And if the world remained completely static and new things never popped up, you might have a point. Oh, and also if the government wasn't beholden to the people in the form of elections.
But if we lived in a world where things change and people learn things, it'd be more weird to stubbornly stick to a set of old laws that would soon be outpaced by the country they supposedly serve.
