The main argument is as follows: To Mill, civil society grows and evolves because of the need of government and of society to find ways to give everybody what they want and to solve the conflicts that come up when people disagree. Mill argued that the form and structure of political institutions and government and law all owe their development to the nature of the conflicts in society that they must solve.
