Yeah, but I assure you it wasn’t for the tens of thousands of laws we have today. Like having a lobster, urinating in public, or draining a swamp on your own land. I’m not saying that these are punished by hanging, Im saying they wouldn’t have even dreamt of trying to charge/fine/etc. someone for doing any of them.
