A Moral act (with an uppercase "M") refers to an act that has either a moral or immoral consequence. Moral acts involve intent, free will, passive moral agents, and active moral agents. A moral (with an lower case "m") act is the "right" one, the one that will either bring about good consequences (consequentialism) or adheres to a formal set of rules (deontology). An immoral act is the "wrong" one, the one that will either bring about detrimental consequences (consequentialism) or does not adhere to a formal set of rules (deontology).

Philosophers may debate on whether actions are good because they are right, or if they are right because they are good.
