Detailed Explanation
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage of the post-conventional level is called 'Universal Ethical Principle Orientation'. In this stage, individuals go beyond external rules or social pressure to make moral decisions based on their own conscience and universal principles of justice, human rights, and self-respect. At this level, the determination of right and wrong rises above statutory laws and is guided by higher human values.
