“I think the first duty of society is justice”
— Alexander Hamilton

Simplified Meaning:
Justice is about treating everyone fairly and making sure that laws and rules apply equally to all people. Imagine you are in a classroom where the teacher always picks the same few students to answer questions and ignores everyone else. This would feel very unfair to the other students, right? In society, justice means making sure no one gets special treatment or is mistreated because of who they are. This helps everyone feel respected and valued. By focusing on justice, we ensure that everyone has a fair chance to succeed and that wrongdoing is properly addressed. This creates a safer and more peaceful community where people trust each other and the systems in place.
