Utilitarianism

• Bentham argued that each individual would seek to maximise their own utility by maximising their personal pleasure and minimising personal pain
• Late classical liberals believe that a liberal state would need to be more proactive as industrial society created more clashes between individuals than early thinkers like Locke envisioned
• Late classical liberals believe that "political science" became the earliest justification for democracy as the government were more likely to use formula if they were elected and accountable to the greatest number of voters
