Marx and Engel's conceptions about happiness refer mostly to labor
             and how you can achieve happiness through labor. As described on one of
             the Internet websites, "happiness involves expressing our species
             nature"[1] and this species nature', the thing that makes us different
             from other species is our ability to be creative and, especially, to "labor
             creatively". Admitting in their works that happiness was the supreme end
             and goal of man, Marx and Engels sought to achieve this type of material

             pointing out the two "sovereign masters" of a person's conduct, pain and
             pleasure, Bentham shows that the laws need to make the sanctions
