Constructs or not, we still have them. Can out society continue without them?
Probably not. If we interpret Justice as the vehicle by which a society upholds and protects its collective values, then it would be indispensable. A society thrives on its shared value system via social contract. Without it the whole thing would likely descend into anarchy, or at least disintegrate.
