Ethics and laws exist everywhere, in every corner of society. They constantly monitor the
activities of people near and far. They often work together to ensure the unmatched performance
of residents and do their best to ensure the well-being, safety and government support of people
in general. While the law regularly criminalizes moral leaders, law and ethics are not equally
broad. With an ethical community in mind, governments enact and enforce laws to mediate with
our associations and protect their residents 1.

standards. Previous political science writers had no degrees in law or morality.
Plato's Republic can be equally regarded as a constitution on governance and ethical
issues. Compliance with the law is not only the sovereign of the ruler but also speaks in favour of
law or injustice, depending on the prevailing morality of the people 3. Moreover, compliance
with the law depends on the dynamic support of one's ethical feelings. Laws that do not protect a
person's moral spirit must be a dead letter. Model prohibition laws in India failed because they
did not promote a good voice for these people. Legislation. As Green puts it,
“A government trying to defend a law it doesn't like can do more harm than anything else
by breaking and spreading anti-legal prejudices. The total cost of such a breach will be more
significant than it might have been”.
