Because Laws have never declared illegal/criminal things that should never have been declared as such? Or just because at the time it is considered Criminal, Noone should have the possibility to protect themselves from the government until (in the hope) that the unjust law gets rectified?

Is the History not enough to convince you that no mater the purpose (nefarious or not) Democratic/Liberal Governments can be wrong as much as Dictatorial ones in enacting laws?

If even access to information is forbidden, how are people supposed to get informed that maybe something is not right with these laws so they try to change them?
