I wouldn’t say shared morals nessecarily mean you’re compelled to strive for the common good, just not actively harm society. If you harm the society you’re a part of, you’ll most likely be ostracized/punished. I would assume it’s in your best interest to not be ostracized.

It’s the case for me, because I’m a commoner. But why shouldn’t people powerful enough to avoid consequences shouldn’t do as they wish?
