Summary

This quote emphasizes the principle of a government that is founded on laws rather than the whims or actions of individuals. It highlights the idea that in a republic, the power ultimately belongs to the people who collectively govern themselves through an agreed-upon set of laws and institutions. This principle promotes the notion of equal treatment, justice, and the rule of law, suggesting that no person, regardless of their status or position, is above the law or can make arbitrary decisions that supersede the established legal framework.
