What's the difference between law and morality?

1. From the definition: Marxism believes that morality is a social ideology and a norm and criterion for people's life and behavior. Different times and classes have different moral concepts, and no morality is eternal. The word morality can be traced back to the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Zi, a pre-Qin thinker. Laozi said: "Tao is born, livestock is virtuous, things are shaped, and potential is achieved." It is based on the respect and virtue of all things. The respect of Tao, the preciousness of virtue, and the life of a husband are natural. " Law is the product of the country, and it is the basic law and ordinary law promulgated by the ruling class (generally referring to the ruling class in politics, economy and ideology) through certain legislative procedures in order to achieve the purpose of ruling and managing the country. Law is the embodiment of the will of the ruling class and the ruling tool of the country.

2. How to produce: Morality comes from social life, traditional cultural customs and traditional ideas.

Laws are formulated by the state legislature, have a certain written form, are guaranteed to be implemented by state power, and citizens must abide by the rules of conduct. In ancient times, it mostly referred to criminal laws and decrees, and now it also refers to various laws, regulations and rules formulated by state organs of political power.

3. Functionally, morality restricts social life through public opinion of society or a certain class, which is also the result of individual's restraint on self-behavior.

Law is the last morality and mandatory provision, which plays a role in society through guidance, prevention, warning and punishment.

4. From the criterion: moral standards are not too specific and unified, and everyone's moral cultivation is different.

Since laws are formulated by the legislature, every law has been studied and has a unified standard.

5. From the form of expression, morality is more of an idea, which exists in people's minds and is a kind of thinking.

It is a real thing that laws are presented in the form of written laws through legislation.
