Laws are currently limited to 500 characters long. As a result, good laws do not have the space to adequately describe the principles, ideas, and rationale behind new laws. It is also possible that a tersely worded law may have a literal interpretation that proves to be disastrous to all of Egypt's citizens. It is hereby decreed, therefore, that all law petitioners shall have no fewer than 1000 characters in which to describe their new legislation.
