According to St. Thomas Aquinas, a just war must be prosecuted by a sovereign
authority. He distinguishes a sovereign authority from a tyrannical government by
suggesting that the sovereign authority is directed towards the common good, while
the tyrannical government is directed to the private good of the ruler. He concludes
that we may attempt to overthrown a tyrannical government only if:

A.) the results maximize outcomes across cognitive and affective domains.

B) the moral authority is guaranteed by the likely outcome of events.

C) the action is sanctioned by God.

D) overthrowing the tyrant does not cause more harm than that caused by the
tyrant.

E) all of the above

F) none of the above
