Which frankly is not all that rare. Most societies don't really *need* new laws on a regular basis. Even in the modern world, where we think you need laws and regulations for everything, and there are a lot of other kinds of change to generate new situations that might even genuinely need some, many laws are fairly old, or closely modeled on an old one it "replaced".

Believing you need new laws every year is historically a weird outlier.
