Our book, Elements of Moral philosophy offered many fine theories all through their work. Thoughts of Utilitarianism next to Cultural Relativism and Religion were offered and then pulled out apart and in order to entertain my leader I will pursue their thoughts strictly. My monarchs system will not be ideal because there is no such thing as a flawless human and as a result no human design can be perfect. My method will be largely based on the system of utilitarianism in the sense that it will look out for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. There will be elements from other techniques in the Rachel’s work but also my own ideas.

Then there is the moral council. The council will consist of twenty randomly selected citizens that do not know each other. They will serve for ten days at a time. During those ten days they are the utmost high power, below the despot, and they make all of the moral decisions that are not clear black and white. This system is much like the United States jury system but gives the council more
