From what I remember, although I've blocked most of it from my memory, the rule against perpetuities exists so that people can't have unlimited control over what happens to their real property after they die. The lawmakers favor the free trade of stuff, basically, so they want to limit the ability to exercise control from the grave, as it were.

Yeah. That makes no sense. I'm sure someone else can explain it better.
