In short, Jeremy Bentham considered all happiness equally (Quantitatively)Bentham says majority rules meaning that what gives the most people pleasure regardless of the quality is the best option. While John Stuart Mill took it one step further and claimed that some happiness /pleasures (higher faculties such as exercising your intellect, feelings, imagination and morality) are of greater meaning (better) than the simpler pleasures (such as unintellectual stimulation-watching a sitcom). Mill took the qualitative view on it (Quality of the pleasure) while Bentham looked at in the quantitative view (the more people pleased the better or the more pleasures received the better).
