There are some laws in the United States that may not be considered moral and ethical. How someone feels about a law may vary from person to person. Although not all laws are moral or ethical, all laws are created for a reason.
An act can be legal if it does not violate any laws or regulations, but still be considered immoral based on social norms, ethical principles, or personal beliefs. Society's values and ethics may evolve over time, causing certain actions to be legal but still viewed as unethical by some.
Some may argue that in cases where laws are viewed as deeply immoral, it can be justified to openly violate them to uphold higher moral principles. The decision to do so often stems from a belief in fundamental human rights and justice, even if it means going against the majority viewpoint. This can spark debates on the extent to which majority rule should dictate moral behavior.

Emerson opposed the Fugitive Slave Law as he saw it as an unjust, immoral law that supported slavery and violated human rights. He believed that individuals should resist such laws and follow their conscience to stand up against injustice.
Yes. Morality is, in simple terms, what is right or wrong. The law consists of official statements of what can and cannot be done as established by some governing body. The law, at least ideally, should be based on moral principals, but all too often is not. Some laws may be immoral or unjust, such as those that deny rights to ethnic minorities. Conversely, some things that are generally held as immoral might not be illegal. For example, many countries do not have laws against adultery.
laws reflect ideas about right and wrong but values are the difference between moral and immoral and not everything illegal is immoral.
There are no laws about immoral activities such as infidelity.
Not all acts that violate a law are necessarily immoral. Some laws may be unjust or unethical themselves, while some moral principles may not be codified in law. The morality of an act depends on a variety of factors beyond just legal compliance.
In general, we don't have a duty to change immoral laws, unless they are also unfair or unjust. The concept of "morality" is dependent on your religious beliefs, and not everyone in the country (or at least, in the United States) shares your religious beliefs.

Actions are considered illegal if they violate laws set by the government, while immoral actions are those that go against societal norms or principles of right and wrong. Acts can be both illegal and immoral if they are prohibited by law and are widely condemned by society for going against moral standards.
