What are laws, and do they necessarily have any basis in morality? The present work argues that laws are governmental assurances of protections of rights and that, consequently, the concepts of law and legal obligation must be understood in moral terms. There are, of course, many immoral laws. But once certain basic truths are taken into account---in particular, that moral principles have a "dimension of weight", to use an expression of Ronald Dworkin's, and also that principled relations are not always expressed by perfect statistical concomitances---the existence of iniquitous laws poses no significant threat to a moralistic analysis of law. Special attention is paid to the debate between Ronald Dworkin and H.L.A. Hart. Dworkin's over-all position is argued to be correct, but issue is taken with his argument for that position. Hart's analysis is found to be vitiated by an impoverished conception of morality and also of the nature of government.
