The philosophy that taught that government should pass strict laws and enforce them with harsh punishment is known as Legalism. Legalism was an ancient Chinese philosophy that emphasized the use of strict laws and severe punishments to maintain social order and obedience to authority.
The major accomplishments of legalism include the fact that people acted in a more civil manner and law and order was maintained among other things. Legalism is the strict adherence of the law.
