Ok, this seems like a different argument from the one you made above, that morality is purely individual. 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).
