Laws, Ordinances, and regulations...boring

Reading King Moctezuma I, Laws, Ordinances, and Regulations  is no surprise of how social class was treated or regulated during the 15th century. In regards to tradition, hierarchy of society and order at the time was imperative during that time. There rules/regulations is no different from the beginning of time (when they could read and write) and the sense of gaining power is to create laws that in my mind don't make sense... for example, Kings are to only be present/seen in public when "the occasion is extremely important and unavoidable"--meaning, what? When their war or disagreements, or when they are looking for a bride etc. There isn't any specific reason of when and where a king should be present. Also their attire is also written, I don't see our constitution have anything to say what our President should wear. Overall, the 15th century is somewhat boring to me because it's just another time in history that is similar to the beginning.
