Morality, yes. But, in some cases, the law reflects basic moral issues
which
continue to be important to people.

Associating written laws with morality does you a disservice.
There is no connection.

Some laws exist to guide the perpetually stupid. Otherwise, such people
could not figure out, for instance, that it's not good to make outrageous
noise at 3:00 AM when your neighbors are trying to sleep.

Laws don't change behavior, they only assign a penalty after the fact.
Its all about money for the state.
