"الواجب الأول للسيادة، وهو حماية المجتمع من العنف والغزو من قبل المجتمعات المستقلة الأخرى، يمكن أداؤه فقط بواسطة قوة عسكرية."
— Adam Smith

Simplified Meaning:
To keep people safe from attacks or threats from other groups, a leader needs to have an army. Just like a homeowner needs a strong lock to protect the house from burglars, a country needs soldiers to guard against invaders. Imagine living in a small village; if there were no guards or defenses, anyone could come and cause harm. The leader’s job is to make sure this doesn’t happen by organizing and maintaining a military. This is like how a parent must ensure their family is safe by locking doors and teaching children not to talk to strangers. In the same way, a leader uses the military to ensure the safety and security of the whole society.
