Detailed Explanation
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development:
- Good Boy - Good Girl Orientation (Stage 3): This conventional stage focuses on interpersonal relationships and social approval. The individual acts in ways that please others to be regarded as a 'good' person.
- Social Contract and Individual Rights Orientation (Stage 5): This post-conventional stage is based on the realization that social rules and laws are not absolute or rigid restrictions, but rather flexible contracts established by mutual agreement. If a law contradicts fundamental human rights or justice, it can be modified through democratic processes.
Conclusion: Option (b) accurately captures this philosophical distinction regarding social contracts and moral compliance.
