How can we ensure that government regulations are not overly restrictive and oppressive, while still effectively safeguarding the well-being of society as a whole?

To ensure that government regulations are not overly restrictive and oppressive while still effectively safeguarding the well-being of society, it is important to have transparent and accountable regulatory processes in place. This includes involving stakeholders in the decision-making process, conducting regular reviews of regulations to assess their impact, and providing avenues for feedback and appeals. Additionally, regulations should be based on evidence and data, and be proportionate to the risks they are intended to address. Finally, fostering a culture of regulatory compliance and cooperation between government agencies, businesses, and the public can help ensure that regulations are effective without being overly burdensome.
