Ethics as a basis for law. Hmm... Kant would admire your assertion. The problem would occur when ethical direction interfered with practical or political expediency.

Ethics as a basis for law.

Are ethics and morality the same? I didn't think they were.

My question was, is there a moral law, like a physical law, to which we are bound whether we agree or not. Or, is the moral law subject to the legal system of the nation in question?

If the latter, then I don't see much difference between leaving it up to the judiciary or to the legislature. It makes a difference in the timing, but not the end result.

Shalom.
