Let's define 'x is morally required' = one is not moral unless one does x 1) It is moral for society to do x. 2) If it is moral for society to do x, then it is moral for it to force its citizens to do x. 3) :. It is moral for society to force its citizens to do x. A) It is moral for a society to force its citizens to do x, only if doing x is morally required. B) Some things a society does are moral, but not morally required. C) :. Some things a society does are moral, but it cannot force its citizens to do them. You favor argument 1) - 3). But 2) does not follow from the definition of 'moral'. You need either an independent argument for 2) or at least an argument against A) or B). I give to charity; giving to charity is moral; but forcing me to give to charity is not.
