Some people at the top of the hierarchy push it and promote it, doesn't mean other people agree with any of it, they are just powerless against it. Why do you take it as society agrees I don't know, but I can understand why those at the top of the hierarchy would like you to think there's the morals of society.

If the overall morals of society (as represented by the majority) don't get transposed into law then we go back to my original comment: > in a functioning systems the law should be adapted to the morals of society In a democracy the top of the hierarchy is chosen to represent the views of individuals that elected them. Edit: Whether the morals of society are dictated by the few (rulers) or by the many (people) it doesn't change the conclusion. At some point the balance regarding society's view on the morality of certain things tips. And as an individual you are still very much the product of society. Can we agree that there are things now where there is a societal consensus regarding their morality? There are actually very few things where societies over time consistently agreed on their morality (like theft).
