Beginning at about 4:04, Elder Christofferson speaks on laws and regulations as the last desperate defense for a civilized society. The first principles, he mentions, being customs, traditions, and values. There is a Book of Mormon verse that also illustrates this social decline among the Nephites: “They who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction… Yea, and this was not all; they were a stiffnecked people, insomuch that they could not be governed by the law nor justice, save it were to their destruction” (Helaman 5:2-3). I’m not suggesting that our modern society is at this point (I do not know), but surely the Nephites inability to be governed by law or justice, save to their destruction, is an ancient example of what Elder Christofferson described.
