B.The theory has elaborate testing procedures.
C.It establishes a clear relationship between moral reasoning and action.
D.His belief is that children are moral philosophers.
Explanation
Kohlberg's major contribution was demonstrating that moral development parallels cognitive development - as children develop cognitively, their moral reasoning also becomes more sophisticated. His stages of moral development build on Piaget's cognitive stages. The theory has been criticized for lacking elaborate testing procedures, not clearly linking reasoning to action, and overemphasizing reasoning over behavior.
