Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rule utilitarians believe that the optimal moral code will not normally produce 100% compliance because it may not always be possible to predict the consequences of every individual action. They prioritize following rules that generally lead to the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, but recognize that there may be exceptions where violating a rule could produce a better outcome.
