Summary

This quote suggests that the characteristics and actions of a government are ultimately a reflection of its people. It implies that the government's decisions and policies are influenced by the collective wisdom or lack thereof in the population. If the people possess good judgment and intelligence, the government will exhibit the same qualities. Conversely, if the people make unwise choices, the government will often reflect this. The quote emphasizes the intrinsic connection between a government and its citizens and highlights the importance of the populace's engagement and responsibility in shaping the outcomes of their governance.
