I've always struggled with justifying rule utilitarianism but you gave me the perfect explanation of my own internal thought process - if a society could sacrifice 10,000 citizens for the happiness of 10,000,000 , would it not be less happy than one where all 10,010,000 citizens live without the fear of being potentially executed by the state?

In other words, utilitarianism tries to protect freedoms by using the greatest happiness principle/principle of utility. In this, it assumes that human life canβt be inductively measured, and thus must assume that one cannot take life without being considered evil (the problem with Millβs, and Bentham utilitarianism is that it leaves this to be assumed. It allows us to assume what gives others pleasure, or pain, merely beckoning our thoughts to the ideas of suffering and happiness).
