Or just one universal law, e.g., the Categorical Imperative? Break that and we suffer the consequences. But that was the thing with Kant that I always had a hard time understanding -- morality has only to do with your motivation, and the only moral motivation is our love for that one moral law -- the C.I. It has nothing to do with consequences. But then on what basis do you figure out what rules to universalize? "Act only upon those maxims that you reasonably can will to be universal law." How do we pick these maxims? Reason, alone, is just geometry. Still and all I like Kant. I'm just not as smart as he was.
