"政府を構築する際の大きな難題は次の点にあります。まず政府に統治される者を制御させることが必要であり、次に政府自身が自らを制御することを義務付ける必要がある。"

James Madison

Simplified Meaning:

When creating a government, the main challenge is to find the right balance. First, the government needs enough power to keep order and help manage society. For example, like a parent who sets rules so their child knows how to behave and stay safe. But, at the same time, the government must also have limits so it doesn't become too powerful and start acting unfairly or abusing its power. Think of it like a referee in a sports game, who has the authority to enforce rules, but also needs to follow the rules themselves to ensure the game is fair. People can apply this in their own lives by seeking balance in both leadership positions and personal relationships, ensuring they can guide and support others while also being fair and accountable.
