How have considerations of justice been used to argue against utilitarianism, according to Mill?

B) By arguing that although utilitarianism might be appropriate as a way for individuals to make private decisions, it cannot replace justice as a guide for making political or legal decisions.
C) By arguing that it is inconsistent to insist that utility is the sole criterion of right and wrong and also that justice matters.
