The correct answer is letter A

Utilitarianism is an ethical doctrine first proposed by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). Such doctrine is based on the principle of utility, which determines that ethics must always be based on practical contexts, as the moral agent must analyze the situation before acting, and its action must aim to provide the greatest amount of pleasure ( well-being) to as many people as possible so that it is morally correct. In this way, utilitarianism completely discards the Kantian categorical imperative, removing all moral correction from a universal reason and offering it to the subject.

compare and contrast the experience of a member of the bourgeoisie with that of a noble in pre-revolutionary France.
aivan3 [116]

The social order of pre-Revolutionary France was composed of three states: the 1st state was made up of clergymen, the 2nd state included all the nobility, and the 3rd state was formed by the rest of the population of France, including the peasantry, the bourgeoisie, and the city workers.

The experiences of the nobility and the bourgeoisie were very different during this period. The nobiity included around 1-2% of the population of the country. They were mostly exempt from taxes and for the most part, did not have a job. On the other hand, the bourgeoisie was a large percentage of the population, and carried a significant tax burden. This class was the most educated and wealthiest part of the 3rd State, and they resented the privileges of the nobles, in particular the tax exemptions. The conflict between these classes was a reason for the French Revolution.
