Legalism holds that principles should be followed because they originate from a terrestrial power whereas Confucianism holds that principles should be followed due to the sanctity of various types of personal relationships, extrinsic of any governmental bidding.
In this way, a Legalist can never criticize a government because the government determines morality, but a Confucianist can criticize a government based on the preset requirements that a ruler-subject relationship must have.

It started out as legalism, then it swayed to Confucianism.
Legalism was far different in its ideals and approach. Like Daoism, Legalism did not have one founder but several who shared similar ideas of which Han Feizi and Shangzi are well known. While Confucianism tried to gain total harmony with social order and Daoism searched for the same result in nature, Legalists believed that a strong political structure was the answer.
Legalism is a Chinese philosophy that emphasizes strict adherence to laws and regulations, often using harsh punishments to enforce order and control. Confucianism, on the other hand, focuses on ethical behavior, moral development, and the cultivation of virtues such as benevolence, filial piety, and propriety. While Legalism prioritizes the role of the state in maintaining social order, Confucianism emphasizes personal and societal harmony through virtuous conduct and relationships.
