That is why we have the separation of powers. The people writing law do not have the ability to interpret or enforce it and they can be replaced by the people they represent.

Unfortunately Montesquieu wasn’t an economist or a game theorist, so he apparently didn’t realize the now obvious flaw in the idea of separation of powers, which is that it is in the best interest of all branches of government to collude most of the time.
