An Intuitionist Conception Of Justice Is, One

Justice As Fairness Provides What We Want.

The Strength Of The Claims Of Formal Justice, Of Obedience To System, Clearly Depend Upon The Substantive Justice Of Institutions And The Possibilities Of Their Reform.

Justice Is The First Virtue Of Social Institutions, As Truth Is Of Systems Of Thought. A Theory However Elegant And Economical Must Be Rejected Or Revised If It Is Untrue; Likewise Laws And Institutions No Matter How Efficient And Well-arranged Must Be Reformed Or Abolished If They Are Unjust.

You Might Say That, If Citizens Are Acting For The Right Reasons In A Constitutional Regime, Then Regardless Of Their Comprehensive Doctrines They Want Every Other Citizen To Have Justice. So You Might Say They're All Working Together To Do One Thing, Namely To Make Sure Every Citizen Has Justice. Now That's Not The Only Interest They All Have, But It's The Single Thing They're All Trying To Do. In My Language, They've Striving Toward One Single End, The End Of Justice For All Citizens.

A Scheme Is Unjust When The Higher Expectations, One Or More Of Them, Are Excessive. If These Expectations Were Decreased, The Situation Of The Less Favored Would Be Improved.
