    I think the term you're looking for is Clientelism.

    The most famous definition of politics is as the art and science of who gets what in society. To help understand who gets what many political scientists in the 1970s began to apply the concept clientelism, first elaborated by anthropologists and sociologists to describe
    the hierarchical social relations that have long marked the countryside in peasant societies. They found that clientelism, also known as the patron-client model of
    politics, permeated contemporary political systems around the world.
    The term refers to a complex chain of personal bonds between political patrons or bosses and
    their individual clients or followers. These bonds are founded on mutual material advantage: the
    patron furnishes excludable resources (money, jobs) to dependents and accomplices in return for
    their support and cooperation (votes, attendance at rallies). The patron has disproportionate
    power and thus enjoys wide latitude about how to distribute the assets under his control. In
    modern polities, most patrons are not independent actors, but are links within a larger grid of
    contacts, usually serving as middlemen who arrange exchanges between the local level and the
    national center.

    tl:dr: Laws have historically not been based on sensibility, only support.
