If you have determined you already know what is good for society, you should campaign to be the global dictator. Like seriously by your logic a person in power can decide they know "what is good for society" and ignore all rules/laws anything and gave them any power they need. And before you say "Court interprets the constitution" by that absurd logic the court can say the Constitution made them supreme monarchs and you will defend it. The other commenter is making valid points and answering your queries in good faith, and you are engaging in void bad faith arguments.

By your absurd logic, "good of society" is supreme and some judge knows it best, why on earth hold elections? Why not let the judge anoint himself or his cronies for "the greater good"?
