Summary

This quote implies that a weak government can be incredibly burdensome and unfair. When a government lacks the necessary strength, authority, and capability to effectively govern and uphold justice, it can lead to various issues in society.

A feeble government tends to sow discontent, breed inequality, and undermine the overall stability and well-being of a nation.
