Summary

This quote implies that a weak government can be incredibly burdensome and unfair. When a government lacks the necessary strength, authority, and capability to effectively govern and uphold justice, it can lead to various issues in society. This can result in inadequate law enforcement, corruption, lack of protection for citizens' rights, and the inability to address pressing social and economic problems. A feeble government tends to sow discontent, breed inequality, and undermine the overall stability and well-being of a nation.
