Normative Justification

Normative justification refers to the reasoning process that supports why a particular moral or ethical principle, rule, or action is considered right or justified. It involves evaluating principles based on ethical theories, values, or standards to determine their appropriateness or fairness. In essence, it explains why certain moral judgments are justified, guiding us to accept some actions or rules as correct and others as wrong. This form of justification helps us understand the basis for moral beliefs and informs our decision-making within ethical frameworks.
