Laws don't shape society, society shapes the laws... would that be fair to say?

Laws in place can constrict society, but ultimately they're words on paper that can and do change.

If you want to talk morality - I'd say that, for the most part, laws are defined by a society's moral compass (which can change). Laws don't necessarily change morality. That happens, in my view, with education and exposure to different ideas.
