All laws are "do such and such or else". No they aren't. How about a law declaring a piece of land to be a park from now on? How about a law declaring a certain day is a holiday? There are many more examples I could use. All laws are not "do such and such or else".

And attached to the purchase of the land by the city for a park will be a hundred laws on its use by citizens, such as leash laws, dog poop laws, smoking restrictions, drinking restrictions, trash restrictions, time restrictions and other use restrictions, all laws that are "do such and such or else", on land designed for the citizenry.

And as for your holiday, if you are a business owner, you will likely have laws pertaining to your employees' pay that you will need to follow.

Of course. City parks are public lands...or lands owned by the collective 'public' and held in trust by the city government.

If this is a private business owned by a private person and not a 'public' one.... why?

That statement destroys the right to private property, the free market system AND the equity of law.

It's a Trifecta!

Your examples are "after the fact" or subsequent laws and generally are not congruent with the original passage.
There's something nice about unadulterated laws, isn't there.
