ABSTRACT

If the policy in its simple definition is the methods of leadership of the human group and the methods of management of what is believed to be good and useful, morality is the set of values and ideals directed at human behavior towards what is also believed to be good and to avoid what is perceived as evil. Both of politics and morality are aimed at giving people a preconceived vision that makes their lives a goal and a meaning, and therefore converge on the call to build a certain pattern of principles and human relations and to defend them, but are accustomed to the character of the principles and relations that address the policy which is different qualitatively from those addressed by the ethics to the extent of the conflict in Mkavili, which overrides politics on morality in his book Prince, to show behavior, as if he openly denies all moral virtues when justifying the use of all means to achieve political ends! The relationship of morality in politics is in a constant renewal, depending on the evolution of political events and reflection on the ethics, so there must be a continuous research and writings are looking at all new in this relationship and in every age of the ages. It should be noted that the rules, priorities and the foundations of governance, law, and politics are the conscience of the priorities of building moral, and then for the ruling political that pays tribute to the Kingdom of politics on the ground and the soil and the rules of policy and uses if possible rules of ethics as a complementary help, but not essential why? Because the good political system must be based on the pillars of several of the most prominent: The first is people’s power in decision-making; the second is equal rights in the exercise of that power. The truth is following the effect that the state rule is personal and moral relations among individuals and is governed by state law and not personal moral relations!
