Rationalism and Skepticism are two vital tools needed to create sound, logical, and reliable laws. People are more likely to abide by rules they can follow the reasoning behind. Also, these two tools allow law-makers to see any loopholes in their premises and proposed laws. Empiricism is also essential to the process because it dictates the type reasoning a lawmaker can suggest backing up a law.
