Then "what floats your boat" is adherence to laws. That's a reasonable take, but other people may value other things.
I'd also say that what the people want should eventually trump any written text. Society changes, the rules that are the foundation need to be able to adapt over time. To me, that serves the people better than adherence to some supposedly forever-immutable scripture which, as a concept, bears too much resemblence to regligious holy text. In my taste.
