The morality is in following the law of the land regardless of your personal assessment of the law&#x27;s merits or your personal assessment of the motives of the legislators. This should happen unless the law violates some fundamental human right. Respecting the rule of law is a moral principle.<p>Morally speaking, the law should be honored while it is in force, and if it is not a good law, it should be altered through the means provided by the political system.<p>Pragmatically speaking, implementing that moral ideal is becoming increasingly difficult, as governments reach farther and farther into daily commerce, become increasingly impenetrable to anyone of ordinary means, and fail to cope with the rapid social changes driven by new technologies.
