Whom and When This theory was devised by Jeremy Bentham (1748 to 1832) He was a utilitarian philosopher and social reformer This was created in 1780

Historical Conditions leading up to the creation of this theory… The French revolution and the American Revolution already occurred In beginning of the Industrial Revolution

Important Points This is the idea that the moral worth of an action is solely determined by its contribution to overall utility in maximizing happiness or pleasure as summed among all people. Pain and pleasure motivates people Actions are based upon their consequences The more happy any law made a overall population determines how good of a law is

Economic Basic Opportunity Cost & Trade Offs- Theory is based on happiness people make decisions based on what will make them the most happy and what they want to give up

Today actions are still based or have a lot to do with their consequences Pain and pleasure still motivates people People do what makes them happy

Flaws The overall happiness of a population could allow things to take place such as slavery, war, lose of women rights. This is because if more then half the people are happy then it would be considered a good law
