Perhaps unreasonable as an ask, but in some ways I think it’s suitable as an exercise.

The government should solve coordination problems to increase the efficiency and satisfaction of society using a variety of tools, securing the safety and well-being of the populace.  Its existence is justified by its effectiveness at achieving this goal, not democratic norms, but democratic norms can help achieve it.
