"Los derechos de las personas y los derechos de propiedad son los objetivos para cuya protección se instituyó el Gobierno"
— James Madison
Simplified Meaning:
Governments were created to keep people and their belongings safe. Imagine you have a toy, and someone takes it without asking. You would want an adult to step in and make sure you get your toy back. In the same way, governments help by making rules that protect what belongs to you and make sure others respect those rules. Take traffic laws, for example. They exist to protect drivers and their cars from accidents. If everyone drives safely and follows the rules, fewer people get hurt, and cars don't get damaged. When governments make sure these rules are followed, they help keep everyone safe and happy. So, just like parents or teachers protect children and their things, governments are there to protect the community and their possessions. Everyone can live better and more peacefully when there are good rules in place that everyone follows.
