Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-English Philosopher Jeremy Bentham's (1748-1832) idea: He argued People are Motivated by the Desire for Enjoyment and Happiness, and if something Increases this, It's Right -This can even suggest the Suppression of a Minority Group to Improve the Majority's Wellbeing. -This aligns with the Classic Liberals' perspective on Individual Freedom and Limited Government. But they may see the Danger of Individual Rights and Minorities
