About this Quote

This quote by George Mason speaks to the value of a society and government that is concentrated on the collective good of the community. He is recommending that all societies, governments, and civil compacts ought to be developed to benefit the entire neighborhood, not just a choose couple of. This concept is still appropriate today, as lots of governments and societies are still having a hard time to guarantee that all citizens are dealt with fairly and have access to the very same chances. Mason's quote emphasizes the value of developing a society and government that is concentrated on the cumulative good of the neighborhood, rather than the interests of a couple of. This concept is important for developing a society that is just and fair for all residents.
