Question 4
Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that focuses on maximizing the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Deontological ethics focuses on duty/rules, virtue ethics on character, and social contract theory on agreements. So the correct answer related to "focuses on the great" (likely "greatest good") is Utilitarianism.
Law is enforced by government (legal system), while ethics are moral principles not enforced by law. Option b is wrong (they are not the same), c is wrong (importance varies), d is wrong (ethics can change). So the correct option about the difference is the one stating law is government - enforced (option a, though text is cut but contextually correct).
The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, limited the power of the monarchy, establishing that no one is above the law. Declaration of Independence (1776), Constitution (varies, not 1215), Bill of Rights (later) don't match 1215.
