In the third sentence of the first paragraph, the author mentions society’s ability to “execute its own mandates” primarily to

D) introduce the primary conflict he sees a need to resolve

Explanation:

The statement above is related to John Stuart Mill's rational justification of every individual's freedom in contrast to the state's claim to implement unlimited control. He warned people about the dangers brought by democracy. It can lead to a cruel and oppressive government rule over majority of the people. So, this gives the society the ability to "execute its own mandates." The author stated this in order to introduce this as the "primary conflict" that he sees as a need to be resolved in the society. He wanted the readers to know that this poses the danger of liberty, thus it is the primary or main conflict of the entire justification.

So, this explains the answer.

can you give some possible answers

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
