The legal moralism principle is the school of thought that holds that the government has a right to limit people's freedom in order to compel them to follow moral laws.

In the famous Lawrence v. Texas case from 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down anti-sodomy legislation in 13 states. The State of Texas claimed before the court that its laws were justifiable because they were against immoral behavior, which justified making acts like sodomy illegal. The legal doctrine that allows the criminalization of immoral behavior is known as legal moralism. As this course progresses, we will study what legal moralism is and look at a few examples of it to better understand how it functions.

Beyond the Harm Principle, legal moralism contends that laws are meant to advance morality and that an action's immorality is a justification for its illegality. Legal moralism is best described by Socrates in Plato's Republic, who contends that it is the duty of the state to enact and uphold rules that encourage moral citizens.
