Answer (2)

people are more likely to obey a law if they are convinced its right because they want to make sure that they are doing the right thing

People are more likely to obey laws they believe are right due to perceptions of legitimacy, moral alignment, social norms, consequences, and trust in the legal system. When laws align with personal ethics and community behavior, individuals feel a moral obligation to comply. A transparent legal system that reflects citizens' values enhances this obedience further.
