A first-term junior senator has placed a bill before the Senate
that promises to correct tax inequities that affect thousands of
workers. However, the bill is being held up in committee. The
senior senator who serves as Sub-Committee Chairperson is
responsible. The senator, however, has learned of a secret
scandal in the Chairperson's personal life. The junior senator
visits the Chairperson and tells him that unless the bill is
released from committee, he will divulge the scandal to the
press. The Chairperson then releases the bill from committee
and it is passed—and becomes law.
Identify and tell what ethical philosophy the senior and junior
senators are using, if any.
Now, use your ethical philosophy to analyze the situation.
Explain how, using your philosophy, you would have solved
this situation either the same way as the characters in the
situation did, or differently. Why?
