Summary/Abstract: In current society, which is characterized by an accelerated pace of social progress, frequently radical economic and political change, under pressures from European Union and international law, the law tends to change its purpose. The law no longer appears necessary to establish order in reality and protect the individual and his rights, but has become a solution among many others, a program element required by the party or parties in power. The proliferation of legal norms, their instability generates a devaluation of the law loses its psychological impact on subjects, turning in a fact a matter of fact. The complexity, the large number of laws, the incomprehensibility of these laws to ordinary people leads to a feeling of insecurity. Objectively, the individual entrusts himself to arbitrary forces if often he cannot know or understand the law which he must obey. This creates unbearable legal uncertainty for the person facing the application of the law. Based on these considerations, the present study proposes an analysis of the causes of excessive legislation, its role and functionality on contemporary law and also seeks to propose solutions to mitigate its effects.
