Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that a country should be governed for and by its citizens, rather than solely by the government. It suggests that when people relinquish control to the government, they lose the right to complain about government actions, as it is the natural tendency for those in power to prioritize their own interests. The quote also implies the importance of remaining vigilant and holding government officials accountable to ensure they are acting in the best interests of the people they serve.
