In addition to AS, I would perhaps also like to say 'to make them more strict'?

Perhaps, when there are loopholes caused by different interpretations. A clarification would allow or deny these loopholes.

I know what a rule is, and I know what a law is.
But what are 'rules in laws'? I's an odd phrase.

Do you perhaps mean 'rules and laws'?
