Morals and laws are highly similar and related. First, they are both methods for institutions to influence individual behavior. Laws are the government/political influences on behavior and morals are the religious/societal influences on behavior. They are further related because religious and societal influence the people in politics that create laws. Laws in every society have always reflected that societies morals as a method of codifying a culture or way of life.
