Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's postconventional stage of moral reasoning involves an individual internalizing their own moral principles and following them even if it goes against societal norms or laws. Jack's belief that taking human life is wrong and his willingness to serve time in jail rather than participate in war demonstrate his internalized moral principles, which aligns with the postconventional stage.
