Legality and morality are the same thing. However legality is the agreed morality of a nation rather than of a faction of a nation. Laws represent social bodies attempt, to have agreed, reasonable restrictions, practices and penalities, for defined interactions in society. If a law is unreasonable and does not represent what society or social bodies, considers reasonable, then there is pressure for it's revision or end. Morality is an attempt for individuals or societies to create codes of behaviour, which represent reasonable standards when interacting with others or things, or social bodies, in society. When I say "things" I can give for an example, burning a national flag. Some might say that there are times when burning a national flag in public is sometimes justified as a political statement, others might say it is always unacceptable. Some might call it is a completely immoral act others might say it acceptable under certain circumstances. Laws are subjective, and try to take into account ideas and notions that are social concepts such as: "fairness" and "right and wrong". All of these notions stem from our collective emotions and notions about the way the world "should work." Morality, while hotly debated, stems from our collective emotions and notions about social concepts, such as: "fairness" and "right and wrong" and the way the world "should work" Therefore morality and legality are identical, except legality is the collectively agreed morality of the country or body it represents. However legality is constantly evolving in its attempt to follow and get right, it's reflection of a country's or social body's, morality. Most of us live in democratic societies, so we should see legality as the democratically agreed morality of our country. As we adhere to democratic principles, we should have reverence for the laws and see them as the highest form of morality, as they are morals that have been collectively agreed. If we believe "democratic morality" = law, is presently unjust, we should try to bring them inline with morality. So legality and morality are identical, except that legality is a higher form of morality. Although there is sometime a time lag in getting the law right, once we have agreed, or attempting to agree, our collective morality.

In my country it became illegal to burn certain types of coal last year. Nothing to do with morals but it is a regulation that is now there. Morals and law obviously have a lot of overlap but to suggest they are the same is totally crazy to me. When a speed limit on a road changes do people become more or less moral? You see the point?
