An example would be politics. I am not going to get into specifics because the last thing I want is a political debate. However recently a federal court ruled that appointments the President made during a "recess" of Congress were unconstitutional. If you go by the letter of the law they were. Why exactly did the President or none of his aides say, "Wait we can't do this, it's in the Constitution". Because no one had the person integrity to do what was right, rather they simply wanted to do what they wanted. There was no personal honor to uphold their positions truthfully or lawfully. There was no personal courage to say, "That's illegal you can't do that". Some would say there are subtleties there that you have to taken into consideration. To me, no there are not. Either the law allows them to do something or it does not. Granted that is one narrow example but it applies to what I said.
