Like Princeton's honor code, which I am in love with; did you know that at Princeton if you plagiarize or cheat you are expelled, not because you broke their rules but because when you came in you signed a code of honor promising you wouldn't cheat or plagiarize?
In practice, there is no difference between enforcing rules, and requiring people to agree to rules and enforcing the agreement. Requiring people to agree is simply a rule.
