is anything that is legal,can be considered moral?

Question

if anything that is illegal in the past,through passing of new laws become legal,like gambling,prostitution etc. what is then the basis of declaring those things as moral or illegal when in fact it has been part of everyones life one way or another

Answer 1

I'm not sure I exactly understand the supposition you're making. In general, however, I would argue that moral and legal can be viewed as a Venn diagram - an act can be both, one of the other, or neither. We probably wouldn't want it any other way, actually - hence the saying that "you can't legislate morality."
