Quote by Earl Warren
Legislators represent people, not trees or acres. Legislators are elected by voters, not farms or cities or economic interests.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that legislators are elected to represent the interests and needs of individuals rather than non-living entities such as trees or acres of land.
