Legal structures are the result of the base r and K urges.

K’s tend to want fair competitions, which reward ability/effort/determination. This produces a legal structure which facilitates this.

Philospohically, r’s want an elimination of all such favoritism of ability/effort/determination, and an equal, undiscriminating framework which keeps everyone at the same level. Practically, however, they are hedonists, programmed to take resources freely in an environemnt without limit, and consume to satiation, so their personal behavior rarely matches their philosophy. As a result, an r-utopia shoots for equality, and devolves into corruption.
