Morality cannot be legislated but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Inner conviction and outward conduct are distinguished so that the limits of law do not erase its usefulness. A decree may fail to create compassion while still preventing harm. The argument values practical restraint without confusing it with moral transformation, giving legal protection a role even before attitudes change.
