Which ethical principle states that, when confronted with an ethical dilemma, individuals should take the action that achieves t
Verizon [17]

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory in philosophy, also known as the ethics that define <em>the morality of actions</em>, it was developed by an English philosopher named Jeremy Bentham, and promoted by many other philosophers like John Stuart Mill.

The theory states that the best action is the one making the most overall happiness, or "<em>utility</em>", in reference to usefulness.  

Among other statements framing those principals we have,        

  "<em>The greatest good for the greatest number</em>"

This "greatest happiness principle" states that moral actions are those that maximize utility, or happiness, for the greatest number of people.

Therefore, actions resulting in the greatest pleasure for the utility of society are the best actions.

And here we have the basic principles of utilitarianism:

  • Pleasure or Happiness are the only things with Intrinsic value.  
  • Actions are right if they promote Happiness, and wrong if they produce unhappiness.
  • Everyone's Happiness counts equally.

Thereby, the ethical principle that states that remark is:

<h3>"the collective utilitarian principle" (b)</h3>

<span>National Convention, French Convention Nationale ,  assembly that governed France from September 20, 1792, until October 26, 1795, during the most critical period of the French Revolution. The National Convention was elected to provide a new constitution for the country after the overthrow of the monarchy (August 10, 1792). The Convention numbered 749 deputies, including businessmen, tradesmen, and many professional men. Among its early acts were the formal abolition of the monarchy (September 21) and the establishment of the republic (September 22).</span><span>The struggles between two opposing Revolutionary factions, the Montagnards and the Girondins, dominated the first phase of the Convention (September 1792 to May 1793). The Montagnards favoured granting the poorer classes more political power, while the Girondins favoured a bourgeois republic and wanted to reduce the power of Paris over the course of the Revolution. Discredited by a series of defeats in the war they promoted against the anti-Revolutionary European coalition, the Girondins were purged from the Convention by the popular insurrection of May 31 to June 2, 1793.</span>
