Answer:

. c. balance the gains from greater equality against the losses from distorted incentives

Explanation:

Utilitarianism means maximizing the total utility for everyone , therefore the utilitarian government will stop short of being a fully egalitarian society.

It may sound contradictory but, raising total utility is the primary concern and the decisions taken will not sound today very polemical since a theory of value plus a theory of morality is taken into account.

The decisions made on the level of governance will have a proper moral, and following the philosophy of utilitarianism the goverment will tend to make and decide on policies that maximize the total utility for the society..

<em>The key is to notice how morality and value on the level of goverment is different since decisions are based on maximizing total utility. </em>

All of them suggested that the government would work better if shared into smaller versions of itself, for the greater good of the State.

The power to make political decisions must not be held by one specific, but divided, supporting a democratic system;

Sharing the power means that the problems would be driven to local issues, appealing to the 'Big Chief' - the Federal State. You see, small issues leads to small work, which leads to less expenditures...
