As a matter of fact, there is hardly any law that doesn’t “impose morality”.

A small and limited government does not "impose morality." It enforces it. "Morality" is not created by government.

No, morality definitely is not created by government.

I’m curious, though, at your distinction between “enforcing” morality and “imposing” morality.

How would enforcing a standard not be imposing that standard on those who wish to violate that standard?
