There's a line in the SLC about the same law of Moses being in the Garden. When considering this, this line of argument can be very persuasive, for, if the Law was there, the Law presupposes a Covenant.
So, did Adam break the whole Decalogue? Yes.
In listening to the serpent and creating his own worldview and not holding to God's, he violated the first and second commandments.
In letting his wife eat the tree and joining her, he violated his marriage vows. He committed adultery.
God told him not to eat the fruit. He presumably agreed, so he violated taking God's name in vain by failing to keep an oath. He also stole/took what was not his to have at the time (the knowledge of good and evil).
The fruit looked good to the eyes. This is covetousness.
God told Adam they would die if they did this. Adam "murdered" Eve and all of us. We are "dead" in sins because of him. We die physically because of him.

What did God give, when he wrote by his own hand the Ten Words on the Mt.?
