Answer and Explanation:

Each perspective in the form of religion, law and philosophy justifies moral principles on the grounds of what is acceptable and what is not based on certain established codes. Religion justifies moral principle on the basis of right or wrong which is dictated by a supernatural force. Law and philosophy are closely related on how they justify moral principles. While law pays more attention to what is generally accepted by the people, philosophy bases moral principles on reason and logic
