Identify each statement if it is true or false.

An action has a positive moral worth if it is done in conformity with any maxim that a person follows.

Kant belongs to the consequentialist ethical perspective. 

Like Bentham's ethical theory, Kantian ethics will allow an innocent person to suffer provided that this will lead to the benefit of the majority

For Kant, desires generally coincide with our duty that acting on these desires will naturally lead one to become a moral person.

The dignity of the human person resides in his or her nature as a rational being

The role of reason in the human person's life is to help him or her choose the good. 

The measure that Kant uses to judge the goodness or rightness of an action is the categorical imperative. 

Think about this carefully: In Kantian ethical theory, REASON is the absolute basis of right and wrong.

Analyze the statement well: "Have to's" have a less important value in Kantian ethics than "want to's".

In Kantian ethical theory, duty means following the rules and laws of society.
