“No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare”
— James Madison

Simplified Meaning:
When a country is always fighting in wars, it can't keep its freedom. Constant wars take away resources like money and soldiers, making the country weaker. People in the country may lose trust in their leaders because they are tired and scared of the ongoing conflict. It's like a person who is always fighting with others; they can't find peace and focus on what truly matters in life. In history, ancient Rome lost much of its freedom because it was involved in lots of wars, which made it more focused on the military than on the well-being of its people. To apply this idea, countries should seek peace and avoid unnecessary conflicts to protect their freedom and improve the lives of their citizens.
