1Natural law is an ethical theory developed by [blank_start]St Thomas Aquinas[blank_end], influenced by [blank_start]Aristotle[blank_end]’s philosophy. It is an [blank_start]absolutist[blank_end] theory, meaning that its rules are [blank_start]objective[blank_end] and the same for everyone, for example, stealing is wrong for all people in all situations . It is also a [blank_start]deontological[blank_end] theory, meaning it is focused on the [blank_start]intention[blank_end] of an action, instead of the consequence. It is based around reason, and [blank_start]a priori[blank_end] (innate) knowledge gifted to us by God, which we use to decide if an action is moral.

2Utilitarianism is a [blank_start]non-religious[blank_end] ethical theory first developed by Jeremy [blank_start]Bentham[blank_end].
