Not the how of the system but the what. Moral order: exists in everything and is imagined by the population/people, all orders are moral. Modern moral order is based on: social contract, redacted, 3 features, horizontal all equal and no one is higher than anyone else, ordinary life jobs, opportunity, national health, education etc.
