The type of research used is normative legal research, namely research carried out by analyzing and studying existing norms or applicable positive law, which are related to the problems discussed. Research results show that law and morals are two important pillars in the formation of a civilized society. While law provides a formal framework that helps maintain order and justice, morals provide ethical guidelines that help shape individual behavior in accordance with espoused social values.

Respecting the law and practicing morality is the key to achieving a balanced and just social life.
