Utilitarianism And Legislation

Abstract: An 8 page paper. The writer reacts to this stimulus statement: "In spite of the validity of some of the criticisms leveled at utilitarianism, there is no theory which provides a more rational guideline for the legislator." An explanation of utilitarianism is offered first. The writer then illustrates that a legislature that was to function exclusively under the principle of utility would not serve the society. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
