Rule Utilitarianism

Rule Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialist ethical theory that evaluates the moral rightness of actions based on their adherence to rules which, if universally followed, would produce the greatest overall utility, in contrast to Act Utilitarianism which assesses individual actions directly by their consequences.
