"自由は権力の乱用だけでなく自由の乱用によっても危険にさらされる可能性がある。"
— James Madison
Simplified Meaning:
Having freedom can be risky if we misuse it, just like it can be risky when those in charge misuse their power. Imagine you have the freedom to do anything you like, but you decide to do things that harm others, like spreading false rumors or damaging property. This kind of bad behavior can make it harder for everyone to enjoy their freedom. Similarly, if leaders abuse their authority by making unfair rules or not respecting people's rights, that also puts freedom at risk. To protect our freedom, we need to act responsibly and ensure those in power do the same. For example, voting wisely and respecting others' rights helps keep our society free and fair. Respecting boundaries and ethical behavior ensures that freedom benefits everyone without causing harm.
