Detailed Explanation
Kohlberg's Stage 6: Universal Ethical Principle Orientation
Under Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage of post-conventional morality is the Universal Ethical Principle Orientation.
- At this stage, individuals rise above external laws or social conventions, making moral decisions based on their own conscience and universal principles of justice, human rights, and equality.
- If a law violates these fundamental principles of justice, an individual operating at this level considers it morally justifiable to disobey or challenge that law.
Therefore, option C accurately captures the philosophical depth and autonomy characteristic of Stage 6.
