    The squabbling process moves the law toward meeting the needs of more people. If a dictator just gets to decide what the law is, they’ll likely be self-serving to the dictator, or even outright harmful to entire categories of people.

      The squabbling process moves the law toward meeting the needs of more people.

      Are there data on this?

      You’re making a causal claim (if squabbling, then more needs met) and that’s either empirically true or not.
