Law                              Morality

Is it a moral duty or obligation to follow the law? Or is the duty to follow whatever law is intended to represent? Or neither? I lean strongly toward the second, perhaps the latter because I have trouble defining the second. Law is a general agreement among those who make laws. I feel no moral duty to follow it; aside from practical consequences (I ended up in prison for sexual fantasies).
