Simplified Meaning:

The core idea here is that the true power or control in a society comes from the people themselves, not from any sort of middleman or organization. Think about a country having a government and its laws; they are supposed to serve the citizens, not the other way around. For example, when people vote in an election, they are using their power to choose leaders who will make decisions on their behalf. This shows that the real authority is with the people because their choices shape the leadership and laws of the land. In everyday life, this means that individuals should remember their role and influence in larger systems like communities or nations. By understanding this, people can actively participate in decisions and advocate for changes that benefit everyone.
