Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Although someone might argue this way, a Kantian approach to morality does not automatically imply the wrongness of paternalism. This is because of the Kantian emphasis on respect for all persons, including oneself. For Kant, just as society can enforce our important duties to others, such as by prohibiting theft, so too can it enforce our important duties to oneself, such as by requiring seatbelt use.
