In general all states have laws that prohibit murder, sexual assault, and theft just to name a few. In principle these laws enforce a greater ethical obligation to society. Without them society would have little to no control or moral fabric. Give an example of a law that enforces a particular group's idea of how people should behave? The Veteran’s Administration recently passed a new law to allow for a Post-911 Era education benefits for those serving in the military after September 2001. This law was pushed very hard by the “Veterans of Common Sense” and by the Department of Veteran Affairs.
