@mnciffone,
Governments have (or should have) authority to maintain order, create laws, and enforce laws. The conundrum arises when you attempt to define morality. Does it relate to individual standards? Or standards of the majority? Many examples of recent history can be cited where the actions of individuals proved of greater moral worth than those of their governing agencies.
In your example, if the standards of morality are defined only by the government, then
all legal punishments are morally justified, (2) is always true, (3), (4), and (5) are all false, and anyone living under such a government should get out of town fast.
