Jeremy bentham believed that: questons laws should be judged by whether they bring more pleasure than pain. individual freedom was not important in a utilitarian government. government should play no role in the economy. poverty was inevitable, in spite of wage increases for the working class.

Jeremy Bentham believed that: "questons
laws should be judged by whether they bring more pleasure than pain. "

From the process of utilitarianism which "judges actions based on how beneficial it is to the majority of the people" Beneficial means that they are "pleasure" and is a positive aspect instead of a negative (pain).
