Summary

This quote emphasizes that the purpose of governing is to benefit the people, not those in power. It promotes the idea that those entrusted with governance should prioritize the welfare and interests of the citizens who have given them their mandate. In other words, government should be focused on serving and protecting the needs and rights of its constituents rather than serving the personal or self-serving agendas of those in positions of authority.
