In Leviticus 18 and 19, the phrase "I am the LORD" was used repeatedly, six times in chapter 18 and fifteen times in chapter 19. Each time a commandment is given, the reason for obedience is "I am the LORD".
This is the surest example that morality, codes of behaviour, standards of conducts, laws, Key Performance Indicator (KPI), right and wrong are defined by authority. Even when we refuse to obey any rules of any authority, we still obey rules set by ourselves, by our own authority. Laws and standards is always tied to authority. They cannot exist without one.
