Others are (I think) missing the point of your question.

In France, laws are more easily passed and repealed than in, say, the US. Passing a law isn't quite the "enshrinement" one might first imagine.

To wit: laws are passed daily, and they generally have to do with administrative procedures.

In the US, Administrative Laws (regulations) are passed and repealed much easier than legislation. Is there a difference between regulation and legislation in France?

My point was that there is, essentially, no such distinction.

In fact, there are so many laws being passed for such a large number of things that we've coined a phrase to describe it: legislative inflation.

Huh, ok. Thank you for providing that clarification.
