Option 2 : Social contract orientation

Kohlberg proposed the Theory of Moral Development that had three levels and each level is split into two stages. According to Kohlberg, each individual passes through each stage in a fixed order, and how moral development is linked with intellectual and cognitive development. By considering child's responses to moral dilemmas, Kohlberg tried to establish the reasoning behind the decision as a major indicator of moral development.

Pre-conventional	Obedience and punishment	Based on avoiding punishment, a focus on the consequences of actions, rather than intentions; intrinsic deference to authority
Pre-conventional	Individualism and exchange	The “right” behaviors are those that are in the best interest of oneself, tit for tat mentality
Conventional	Interpersonal relationships	The good boy/ good girl attitude sees individuals as filling social roles
Conventional	Authority and social order	Law and order as the highest ideals,
Post-conventional	Social contract	At this stage right actions tend to be defined in terms of general individual rights and standards that have been critically examined and agreed upon by the whole society.
Post-conventional	Universal principle	Develop internal moral principle

So, Amit reasons that we can change laws if they do not meet the needs of the society but it should be done through mutual agreement and a democratic process. falls under the fifth stage of Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development.
