Post conventional stage of moral development

Explanation:

Lawrence Kohlberg proposed three stages of moral development which are;

1. pre conventional

2. conventional and

3. post conventional

In the post conventional stage of moral development, an individuals judgment is based on self-chosen principles, and moral reasoning is based on the individuals rights and justice and these decisions may not necessarily be the accepted norm.
