These are sometimes called the Laws of Honour, because they are punished by withdrawing from the violator the honour or esteem of his fellow-citizens.

Courage, Prudence as regards self, Chastity, Orthodoxy of opinion, a certain conformity in Tastes and Usages,--are all prescribed by the mass of each community, to a greater or less extent, and are insisted on under penalty of social disgrace and excommunication.

This is the Social or the Popular Sanction.

The department so marked out, being distinct from the Political sphere, is called, by Austin, Positive Morality, or Morality proper.
Public opinion also chimes in with the Law, and adds its own sanction to the legal penalties for offences: unless the law happens to be in conflict with the popular sentiment.

Criminals, condemned by the law, are additionally punished by social disgrace.
(3) The Law of the Land contains many enactments, besides the Moral Code and the machinery for executing it.
