Simplified Meaning:
Political institutions are set up to make sure people in the community are safe and happy. Imagine a city where the government builds schools, hospitals, and parks. They do this so people can learn, stay healthy, and enjoy their lives. When the government creates laws, they aim to protect people from harm and ensure everyone's well-being. For instance, traffic laws are made to prevent accidents, making roads safer for everyone. By focusing on these goals, political institutions work to create a stable and satisfying environment for all citizens. In your own life, you could think about how rules at school or work are designed to keep you safe and help you succeed.
