Is there any value in keeping the laws a secret?

Asked by roundsquare (5522points) July 18th, 2011

A little while ago, I was told that in ancient China laws were kept a secret, though I’m not sure why they did it. The only benefit I can think of is that people will find it harder to look for technicalities and thus would avoid straying near the edge of what is legal and what is illegal.
