Abstract
As can consider, The widening distance between morality and the law in modern politics shows
that legal institutions are increasingly motivated by power rather than moral ideals. A renewed
commitment to moral accountability in governance is necessary to protect justice, human dignity,
and democratic integrity. in order to graphically illustrate how morality is questioned by political
events, ideologies, and powers. My contention is that achieving law without morality is
inconceivable. Because, moral standards have a major role in determining how effective legal
principles are. my thesis holds that, ethical principles and common morality should be taken into
consideration while determining the legality and validity of laws. Morality and the law are
actually related. However, the reality is that there are a number of contentious and intricate
topics surrounding current global activities that test the relationship. so that, based on this point
of view, The thesis will attempt to analyze the relation of law and morality on contemporary
politics beside the two profound legal theories (legal positivism and legal naturalism
arguments). Key word
morality, law, politics, jurisprudence, legal naturalism, legal positivism
