Summary

This quote highlights the negative consequences of implementing laws that cannot be effectively enforced, like the Prohibition law. It suggests that such laws undermine the credibility and respect people have for the government and the legal system.

This quote emphasizes the importance of crafting and implementing laws that are practical, enforceable, and garner public support to maintain the prestige and legitimacy of the government.
