Legalism provides the basis of the legal system and defines the absolute authority of the emperor to be based on the position (or office) rather than ability of the individual. The underlying assumption is that people tend to do evil and require harsh laws and discipline to prevent chaos. Thus, legalism also posits the importance of making laws clear and enforce with harsh punishments that are clearly defined.
