One of my professors once gave a lecture on how utilitarianism was originally intended to be an ethical theory specifically for government. I haven't done enough reading to be able to argue either for or against this, but it makes sense -- avoids this failure mode and feels like it fits with the "if not divine right, then what?" philosophical upheaval.
