"もし人間が天使であれば政府は必要ないでしょう"
— James Madison

Simplified Meaning:
People need rules and leaders because no one is perfect. If everyone behaved perfectly, like angels, there would be no need for laws or leaders to manage society. In reality, people sometimes make bad choices, act selfishly, or hurt each other. Governments exist to create and enforce rules so that everyone can live together peacefully and fairly. For example, without traffic laws, driving would be dangerous because some people might not follow safe practices. Governments help organize society and protect people from harm, so they are important for keeping order and ensuring safety.
