Let's get this straight. I posed some hypothetical questions to you, intended to question your stance on 'living by the law in which this country is governed', i.e. that if ludicrous, uncivilised, fascist laws were passed, would you still be in support of them, as after all, that is 'the law'. You didn't respond to any of these questions...therefore, I'm quite sure I can conclude that you would be in support of such laws being passed. That's not making assumptions.
Questioning laws and questioning government at all times is extremely important, otherwise we put ourselves in a position where things are suppressed and, as I previously stated, we end up living under a totalitarian state. Perhaps you're in support of that...I don't know, but I'd expect the majority aren't. This is why having the right to protest, free speech etc are so important, I'd expect however that you think these should be abolished, as we should live by the law and never question it or the government?
You only have to look at Hitler to see why everything I mentioned in the last paragraph is so important.

Often requiring many years of deliberation / consideration / consultation by official bodies (including non governmental and independant ones) that are involved, the stages involved, the time that it takes and what is involved.

Considering I'm doing an A Level where we've just recently looked into what goes into the process of passing laws, I'm fairly sure I'm clued up on what goes on. Of course the remark I made about 'letting any old fool pass a law' was entirely hypothetical, and you know...not real, or encompassing of actual reality. Hypothetical...but never mind.
