Summary

This quote highlights the importance of having a well-established legal system in order to preserve true freedom. When there are no laws to govern society and individuals are left to solely rely on their own judgment, there is a lack of true liberty. In such a state, individual interests and opinions may clash, causing chaos and disputes without any authoritative guidelines to resolve them. True liberty is better achieved with the presence of laws that provide a framework for society, ensuring fairness, stability, and the rights and responsibilities of each individual.
