The Central 46 are much the legislative and judicial branches of SS government while the Gotei 13 are the executive. Their system does not provide for a means of checks and balances and thus c46 is able to interpret their own laws as they see fit which allows for things like the sentences we have seen. Like I said earlier, all their moves were done to look good and this is how politicians are. I work for politicians and I know that if it comes down to a matter of what is going to look good and get them re-elected versus what they feel is more right, often they choose what is going to look good and that is what c46 does.
