On the other hand, there is the distinction between normative theories which evaluate
everything, whether it be a policy, an action, a law, or a trait of character, according to the value of
the consequences it produces, and normative theories which at least sometimes evaluate some things
according to features other than their consequences. If two actions have the same consequences,
then a consequentialist theory doesn’t care at all which action is performed. A nonconsequentialist
theory may distinguish between the rightness of two actions even if they would have exactly the
same consequences
