Given that Utilitarianism would have us judge an action based on the consequences it produces, why does Mill reject the idea that Utilitarianism entails that we should just do whatever is expedient in the moment or on some particular occasion? Hint: To answer this, you should consider Mill’s discussion of lying, and the rule that people should tell the truth. And, according to Mill, how do particular moral conventions or intermediate rules of societies relate to Utilitarianism’s fundamental principles?
