Nash begins by discussing the nature of morality and its importance in society. He then goes on to examine the role of the state in promoting moral behavior, and argues that the state has a duty to enforce moral laws and punish those who violate them.Nash also discusses the relationship between morality and religion, and argues that while the state should not promote any particular religion, it should still promote moral behavior that is consistent with religious principles.
