The severity of the laws prevents their execution.

The severity of the laws prevents their execution.

Summary

This quote suggests that when laws are too harsh or strict, they often fail to be effectively enforced. When laws are too severe, people may be hesitant to comply out of fear or reluctance to face the harsh consequences. Consequently, the deterrence value of such laws diminishes as enforcement becomes difficult or impractical. This quote highlights the importance of finding a balance between the severity of laws and their practical implementation to ensure that they are effective in achieving their intended purpose.
