What is conscience?

Morality? If conscience is morality how do we codify it?

In a democracy, the law is the conscience of the nation.

The law is the translated morality of the nation.

Is the conscience of the nation measurable?

It better be measurable. Law is suppose to balance the interests and importance of those seeking justice.

What is law in a democracy?

It is the written word to recognize controlling authority. 

What is a word?

Letters?

Of course they are letters, but, what is a word?

A word is speech. Human speech. Any Bonobo knows that.

Can words have multiple understandings when they compose law? No. They cannot have multiple meanings and they need to have authority that reflects THE HUMAN CONDITION that they effect. That is why there are judges and appeals processes, but, most importantly that is why there are legislators.

What has happened to the law in the USA?
