Summary

This quote emphasizes that true freedom is not simply achieved through the existence of laws, but through the efforts and actions of individuals to ensure that those laws foster justice and liberty. It suggests that laws alone are insufficient to guarantee freedom; instead, it is the responsibility of people to actively shape and safeguard the laws in their society to truly promote freedom and ensure the rights and liberties of all individuals are protected. True freedom is seen as a collective effort, requiring constant vigilance and active participation from citizens to create and uphold just laws.
