One might rationally argue that individual human beings should be free choose what moral behavior they approve of, and which they don't, subject to the constraints of the law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.
Morality is only moral when it is voluntary.
How can an act done under compulsion have any moral element in it, seeing that what is moral is the free act of an intelligent being?
We have a society now where obedience to the law is really a choice, an option only.
Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.
Good morals lead to good laws.
In any society that is governed by the rule of law, some form of morality is always imposed. It's inescapable.
The law of humanity ought to be composed of the past, the present, and the future, that we bear within us; whoever possesses but one of these terms, has but a fragment of the law of the moral world.
Every person has free choice. Free to obey or disobey the Natural Laws. Your choice determines the consequences. Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.
All moral laws are merely statements that certain kinds of actions will have good effects.
