Utilitarianism in the 1800s was focused primarily on the core belief that each individual was capable of acting to spread as much happiness to the greatest number of people as possible. The degree to which this pursuit called for government assistance was largely limited, though many utilitarians also believed that some instances, such as businesses exploiting the safety and freedom of their workers, justified intervention for the sole purpose of preventing unnecessary harm from being done to other people at large.
