Well… that’s basically what laws are — legislating morality, of one sort or another.
Bill of rights is straight up legislating morality.
I get the point that OP is trying to make, but you can't have a government devoid of all morality. Then you get things like communism.
this is true, especially with a country whose politicians are left and right statists. However, and this is a huge issue, there are certain moral questions that pretty much require some enforcement of a moral standard, one way or the other. We could allow a Lowest Common Denominator , some would say if one has the right to life, liberty and property, then one also has the right to either defend it oneself, or the right to have the government defend those rights:

Put differently:
When the state usurps morality by issuing statutes violating the integrity of man, as man is the embodiment of rights, and man obeys, complies, because man does not want to lose, man loses himself, and becomes a slave.
That is why, being a burger, or citizen, is a sacred duty towards yourself and your fellow citizen, to keep freedom front and center, as the only viable ideal as it is Life.
Note that the bullshitters will always hide behind the Greater Good. Hence, the virtue signalling and woke ideologies.
