"人民の利益が最高の法である"
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Simplified Meaning:
Laws should be made to help everyone live better lives. Think about a teacher in a classroom: The teacher makes rules, like "no shouting," so all the students can learn without distractions. Everyone benefits from this rule, as it creates a quiet and focused environment. Similarly, governments should create laws that make sure everyone in the community is safe, healthy, and happy. For example, traffic laws are in place to prevent accidents and keep roads safe for everyone. By focusing on what's best for all people, society becomes a better place to live. So, when making decisions, it's important to think about how they will impact everyone, not just a few people.
