Yes. But in many cases they were the same laws originally, and it'd be odd to divorce them from their context. I was just reading up on the stuff promulgated in 1917 and it's weird - stuff that seems really uncontroversial, stuff that is a bit extreme but understandable given the hundreds years of religious tyranny, and straight out batshit violations of human rights. So much like lots of 1917 then.
