    For you personally? Probably not much. For us as a society? Well, being able to read our laws and history in their original form is pretty important.

      Not really, they’ve been transcribed and the people who need to be able to read the originals can learn just like people learn Latin if they need it, not as a mandatory language in school.

      Since when did you have access to the original writing of some law? If you want to find out a law today, you go on a government website.
