Question

Can people violate moral rules to achieve a common good?”​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Yes. Any moral rules can be violated for any reason.

Can it be moral to do so? Not if morality is defined by those rules, unless the rules contradict each other. Different cultures may define morality differently.

Can moral rules be violated without consequences? It depends on the culture. In some cultures moral rules are enforced as legal rules. In others, some moral rules violate the legal rules. In some, people might be punished for a violation even the violation is protected by law. But these things are obvious.

Are there situations in which moral rules should be violated? Yes. Moral rules are human inventions, even if they pretend to be divine. As such, moral rules aren’t necessarily inherently moral.
