Jeremy Bentham was a British philosopher, jurist, social reformer and the founder of modern utilitarianism. He is in the row with the greatest thinkers Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, John Keynes, John Locke, and Alfred Marshall.  Their thoughts had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

In A PROTEST AGAINST LAW – TAXES, Jeremy Bentham argued the practice of charging interest on loans and give a critique of certain taxes which increased the cost of appearing before the courts. Firstly, he argued that the users of a government service should be the ones to pay for it. Secondly, he argued that there is the question of whether tax check ought to should support a groundless litigation.

Jeremy Bentham’s work produced great influence on utilitarianism, philosophy, jurist, and economics. His influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and social sciences.
