Did you get a chance to vote on the law that made what he did illegal?

Better yet, when was the lat time you got to vote on a law that was passed in your country?



I can't understand what you really meant with your questions, but no, usually you don't get the chance to vote law. As a citizen (at least an italian one) you are allowed to vote for parties which in the end vote for the laws. So i don't have the right to directly vote for a law. I can only delegate someone to decide laws for me and this is a broken system at least in 2016 when i think we have all the technology to allow individual votes or at least a better delegation mechanism.
