Jessica is demonstrating post-conventional level of moral development.

Explanation:

Post-conventional is the highest stage of morality defined by Kohlberg. At this stage, individuals have their own set of morals and ethics. There is no external force which controls their sense of morality. This is because experiences and observations make the individuals realize that certain rules are unfair and unjust so they come up with their own ideas and beliefs. However, sometimes their morals and ethics may breed conflicts and disagreements as not everyone agrees to it.
