"法の目的は廃止や抑制ではなく、自由を保存し拡大することです。"
— John Locke
Simplified Meaning:
Laws are created not to take away our freedom or limit what we can do, but to protect and increase the freedoms we enjoy. Think of traffic rules: they might seem restrictive because they tell us how fast we can drive and when to stop. But in reality, these rules make the roads safe for everyone, allowing us to travel without fear of accidents. Similarly, laws against stealing protect your property so you can feel secure in your home and belongings. When laws are fair and just, they create a society where everyone feels safe and can pursue their goals without unnecessary obstacles. By following laws, people live together peacefully and can enjoy their lives more fully. This makes it easier for everyone to have the freedom to do what they want within a safe and orderly community.
