305. Scientific Laws vs. Government Laws

The U.S. government shutdown of itself was a major error by the Republican and Democratic parties.  This shutdown was an error because the laws in the Declaration of Independence (DOI)  and the Constitution are real, but are as different as night and day.

For instance, a scientific law in the DOI is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspect of the world. (click)  Scientific laws always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.  A central problem in the philosophy of science, going back to David Hume, is that of distinguishing causal relationships from principles that arise due to constant conjunction. Thus, the DOI cannot be amended by the U.S. government. But the DOI has scientific laws that are not considered by Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court, when Government laws are being made.

However, a government law is different than scientific laws in that they do not posit a mechanism or explanation of phenomena:  (click) Government laws are merely distillations of the results of repeated observation. As such, a government law is limited in applicability to circumstances resembling those already observed, and may be found to be false when extrapolated. Thus, the U.S. Constitution can be amended by the U.S. government.

Since the U.S. government can be shutdown again, another error must be eliminated.
