Of course, morality is relative so these standards are not cast in stone, nor are they tossed down at the whim of a dictator. Rather (in a civilized democratic Republic) they are modified from time to time according to the collective standards of "we the people".

A decision by "we the people" isn't automatically correct. "We the people" used to at least accept (and many support) the institution of slavery. And that is just one example of an obvious injustice.

I hardly see anything to disagree with in such an obvious point.

I know you don't see anything to disagree with.
