In a real sense, the Torah made Judaism what it is, and the Torah is, among other things, the basis of a code of law known as Halacha. A large part of all Jewish literature focuses on this code, and a defining feature of Jewish literature is the exploration of the ethical foundations of this code. This literature has its roots in the Torah itself, and it continues through the writings of prophets such as Amos and Isaiah, and through large parts of the Talmud into modern Jewish writers.

The law and the constitution are not necessarily superior to ethics, however, they are more clearly defined, and they are enforced by the government.

There are also lots of cases in which individuals have less understanding or less concern for ethics than government officials do. But in either case, governments have considerable power with which to enforce the law.
