I’m not sure that “common sense” is a good guide for lawmakers, what with it being a largely subjective term used by people to legitimise whatever their opinion might be about a given issue.
How about words like jurisprudence, sovereignty, constitution, democracy, convention?
No?
Cos’ that might elevate this debate a bit above its current level.
The first day I attended my law lecture the lecturer mentioned the term common sense many times regarding the application of law.
That is how the law is interpreted as far as I know. I ain’t arguing with my law lecturer put it this way.
