Make Laws Effective The Next Turn

Absolutely. I was also thinking if some more universal/powerful laws should even take several turns to become active?

I agree. If a hero has a cool-down when assigned, then so should laws.  For instance, making a newly-selected law have a cool-down of one turn would eliminate exploiting the Craver's trait of having no influence cost.

Yep, sounds like that would add a nice touch. Additionally, it might be nice to see a penalty to happiness for a certain amount of turns during the time it takes for the law to come into affect, or even for a couple of turns after it comes into affect.  (is it affect or effect, lol)

Or the opposite. A new law is passed and everyone is super-excited, or it has an impact on the economy and there is a slight boost to FIDS. 

either way, adding a cool-down period for the law to become active, in my opinion, is necessary to avoid exploitation even if nothing like the suggested temporary bonuses or penalties is implemented.
