Good day,
Kindly assist me in the interpretation of the following paragraph:
"This mammoth decision might have ended legal battles between Geroge and the state. But it didn't achieve the clearing of the moral conscience of the nation". I am struggling to understand this phrase "moral conscience" What I know is that moral and conscience are adjective and noun respectively. When I look the two words in the dictionary they explain moral as "concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior." Conscience is explained as "the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action".
Thank you
