The rules of Chess are an example of positive morality. They are laid down (posited), but a person does not suffer legal consequences if she moves the horsey in the wrong way.
Austin, one of the early positivists, believed that laws properly so called must be laid down by a sovereign with penalties or sanctions imposed for disobedience. He distinguished these from laws improperly so called, which includes laws by metaphor (e.g., laws of physics) and laws by analogy (e.g., law of fashion, or international law).
Austin explained that "The name morality severs them from positive law, while the epithet positive disjoins them from the law of God".
An example of a moral law is "Do not kill," which is a fundamental principle in many societies and religions as it promotes respect for human life and the value of each individual. This moral law is aimed at preserving peace and harmony in communities by prohibiting the act of taking someone else's life unjustly.
Not killing animals for entertainment. It might be legal in some scenarios but it's rather immoral.
There are no legally enforceable moral laws. You need to refer to a religious publication (Bible - Torah - Quran - etc) for guidance on this subject.
An example of shaping moral standards through law is setting penalties for actions deemed immoral, such as theft or murder. By making these actions illegal and punishable, the law reinforces the moral standard that they are wrong and should be discouraged in society. This helps create a more ethical and orderly society.
Examples of Mendel's laws include the law of segregation, where two alleles for each gene separate during gamete formation, and the law of independent assortment, where alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. These laws help explain patterns of inheritance in genetics.
Specific examples of criminal law include murder, theft, and assault, which are offenses against the state and can result in punishment such as imprisonment. Civil law examples include contract disputes, personal injury cases, and property disputes, which involve resolving conflicts between individuals or entities through compensation or equitable remedies.
Yes, there is a difference between law and moral codes. Laws are a set of rules and regulations created and enforced by a governing body, while moral codes are principles of right and wrong behavior that are based on personal beliefs, values, and ethics. While laws are legally binding and enforceable, moral codes are more subjective and can vary among individuals and cultures.
Moral law pertains to ethical principles and values that guide behavior based on notions of right and wrong, often rooted in societal norms and beliefs. Natural law, on the other hand, is a theory that suggests there are inherent laws or principles dictated by nature or reason that govern human behavior and morality independent of societal constructs.

Theft is generally not considered moral turpitude, but in regards to immigration law, yes, theft can be ruled moral turpitude. Murder, perjury, dishonesty, deceit, bribery, drug dealing ... and theft ... are all examples of moral turpitude in California law, and these offenses can lead to deportation. These same offenses can be used to restrict someone's ability to give testimony as a witness in a criminal or civil case.
The US has plenty of what can be considered moral laws, from marriage laws, to vice laws which are defined as victimless in nature, but suffer morally objectionable behavior. The US also has laws which would be in contradiction of a moral law, such laws in how we slaughter animals which are FDA regulated that require exemption to slaughter animals according to the moral law. Other laws against what we would consider moral laws are usually in prohibition of enforcing or acting in one's moral laws , so anti-moral laws suffer a prohibitive law.
