While some people claim that laws are enacted at least in part to establish a moral fabric in society, the primary purpose of law is to establish order within society. Why? Because sometimes the highest courts have treated moral beliefs as grounds for exceptions in the application of laws.

Sometimes the application of law involves factoring in people’s moral beliefs.

The stimulus tells us that sometimes the highest courts use moral beliefs as grounds for making exceptions in their decisions. If this is true, then it must be that there are at least some instances where people’s beliefs are considered when applying the law.

We don’t know whether moral aims are completely absent from the law. We only know that the law’s primary purpose is establishing order within society. It could be the case that moral aims are a secondary purpose.

We don’t know whether actions taken due to a person’s moral beliefs usually receive protection from the highest courts. In the stimulus, we are only told that using moral beliefs as grounds for decisions are the exception when courts apply the law.

We don’t know what way society should be ordered by law. There is no value judgement in the stimulus.

We don’t know what the best way to establish order within a society would be. There is no value judgment in the stimulus.
