Summary

This quote suggests that the ideal political community lies in a society where the middle class holds a significant and respected position. It argues that states are best governed when this middle class is larger and more influential than both the lower and upper classes. It acknowledges that it may not always be possible to have a greater middle class than both the lower and upper classes combined, but it is preferred to have a more prominent middle class than one that is eclipsed by either extreme. This notion emphasizes the importance of balance and representation within a political system.
