Many have used morality as the backbone of proposed laws, and many other have argued against this practice. Is legislating morality wrong, does anyone have the right to do so.

Laws are not based on morals but it is quite the opposite. Morals are based on laws and what is useful expedient. If morals, exist they would have to be absolute and never change. Morals come from human need and experience. They are the reason we can sleep in our homes at night without worrying about people shooting at us.

There is no law without morality.Voted for by tycho-D.
Most laws have at their foundation some sort of morality, and those that don't are usually corrupt laws. Murder is illegal, because it is immoral and thus wrong to kill, theft is illegal because stealing in immoral and thus wrong, even speeding is illegal because it is immoral to endanger your own, or anyone else's lives because of your driving. Though there must be balance, and not all morals should be laws, all laws are based on morals.
