well generally but that doesn't account for sociopaths or people who simply decide to revoke that social arrangement and that's where the problem of the subjetivity of individuals comes from

Of course. Thanks to our intelligence, our behaviours are more complex than any other creature on this planet. We have common trades as well as unique ones to our species (including all sorts of psychological issues). But there's a striking correlation between moral behaviour of group animals (like us) and their intelligence, so why would we be any different? 

 

yes intelligence fosters moral behavior to some extent since inidividuals come to understand that if they work together they can achieve much more than they can alone

however, with that also comes the capacity for sociopathic destructive behavior, its not just a positive attribute with regards to morality
