Eric has always been a law-abiding citizen, but he truly believes that the war in iraq is not ethical, and he was arrested for protesting against it. eric would be in kohlberg's stage. a. preconventional b. postconventional c. concrete conventional d. deliberation

The correct answer is B.
Eric here in this case has gone beyond conventional stage and exhibits the behavior consistent with the posconventional stage of Kohlberger's system. In this stage the individual there is a stage 5 and stage 6 and Eric is in stage 6. Stage 5 means that morality means supporting the institutions and laws and that the law is more important then the individual. Stage 6 means that morality is not only based on respecting the laws, which here are respected if the individual through logical and internal conclusions believes them to be just, but more importantly it is based on the self-principles and standards to which the individual has arrived through rigorous examination and thinking and the gave his on judgment on whether something is right or wrong.
