Answer to Question 1

ANS:
Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:
A hypothetical imperative is a requirement that must be followed ifand only ifwe wish to achieve some outcome. Go to medical school is a hypothetical imperative; it applies only to those who intend to become doctors. A categorical imperative is a requirement that all of us must follow, regardless of our goals. For Kant, the requirements of morality are categorical imperatives.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
