When the law is violated, it’s not the problem of the law, but existing of criminals who violate it. Criminals must be punished.
As far as I understand, Imperial hierarchy is built that way, that the bottom doesn’t have freedom at all (slaves), and the higher you climb, the more freedom you get, up to the Empress herself, who is definitely the most powerful individual in the whole cluster.
A lot of criminals share your point of view. They may say, that laws are not right and they should be permitted to steal or to murder. But does it make laws not right? In order to set the law right, you first need to find which law is not right and why, and for that you need a merited person, educated in terms of laws and their creation. Usually these people are already responsible for creating these laws. And… are you?
Never. Never shall be general people allowed to create laws or participate in their creation. Only wise and merited men should.
