Kant’s conception of duty, as focused on in the ground work Metaphysics of Morals, enlightens us about the morality of the black lives matter movement. However, the concept of duty can be abstract based on apriori ideas. So we need to follow Kant, by creating a maxim and testing that maxim in the context of the categorical empirical. Racial profiling by law enforcement Nationwide is wrong and our maxim must guard against such immorality. Therefore, to uphold the universal human rights, particularly humanity’s right to life and the right to fair trial, laws must be written and enforced to protect people of color and all people from prejudice, discrimination and state murder.

They patrol the areas they are assigned, which sometimes include entire jurisdictions, respond to calls, enforce laws, make arrests, issue citations, and occasionally testify in court cases. Kant based his ethical theory on the belief that reason should be used to determine how people ought to act. He instructed that reason should be used to determine how to behave.
Duty is a responsibility or something your legally obligated to do. According to Kant, everyone has aa moral duty to which must be fulfilled. In order to achieve a perfect duty, one must fulfil that action under any given circumstance. For instance, the duty not to lie, is a perfect duty and reflects a goal to action. In comparison, an imperfect duty may be cancelled out and opens a great deal of freedom when making moral decisions. Another example is the imperfect duty to support the less fortunate, which can be interpreted and completed in multiple ways. It continuously allows good moral action with a necessarily good aphorism. The difference can be linked to scholasticism, where the perfect duties suffer possible external legislature., whereas imperfect duties can’t. “Imperfect duties are, accordingly, only duties of virtue. Fulfilment of them is merit … but failure to fulfil them is not in itself culpability … but rather mere deficiency in moral worth unless the subject should make it his principle not to comply with such …show more content…
Kant pronounces, it’s wrong to abuse people, keep them enslaved, or use them for selfish intentions. Kant also claims that all rational people or individuals have an unchallengeable dignity that makes them worthy of equal respect. Kant offers a reason for justifying human rights as the foundation for autonomy, rooted inside the authority of human means. To correctly attempt to identify the principles of reasoning and means can be used equivalently to every rational person, regardless of their own desires or self-interest. In this fashion, Kant attributes a state of universality to the right moral identifying principles. For Kant, the root of moral reasoning has to rely on a condition where every rational individual is destined to approve. In term, Doing the correct thing is therefore not deceided by acting in search of a person’s own interests or desires but instead acting in harmony with a maxim which all rational people are likely to accept. Kant labels this the categorical imperative, he has calculated it in these terms, “act only on that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal
