Um, what do you mean exactly by "Legalism"? Wikipedia has four different versions, and I don't see at a glance which one applies here :P

Sorry... according to Wikipedia, what I'm referring to would be Legalism (Chinese philosophy)). I was referring to the belief that having clearly defined rewards and punishments for actions (or in this case, only punishments) is the best path towards a harmonious society.
