  b. We are justified in breaking a promise if necessary to promote the happiness of
  everyone involved.
  c. It is permissible to break a promise only if necessary to uphold a more stringent
  moral principle, such as cause no harm.
  d. The maxim permitting you to break your promise cannot be universalized, and
