Anything that lasts 2 thousand years is only going to be of interest to an archaeologist. It will have no bearing on what they do or how they run the country. If Britain even exists as a country by then, or any other for that matter. Does Egypt still run on laws written by the Pharaohs?

Wouldn't be so sure. The oldest legislation still in effect is 750 years old.

Much ado about nothing. My 2 cents.
Unless degrading legislative documents before they can be transcribed is an issue, anyway. Seems to be more about the pomp and circumstance of having an original document. Which i get...lawyers love their pomp with a double helping of circumstance.
