About this Quote

This quote by Gideon Welles recommends that a healthy government is not possible without a well-balanced society. This suggests that a society needs to remain in balance in order for a federal government to be effective. A healthy society is one that is composed of people who have the ability to work together and work together in order to achieve a common goal. This implies that all members of the society need to be willing to jeopardize and collaborate in order to produce a government that is reasonable and simply. Without a well-balanced society, a federal government will be not able to function properly and will be not able to supply the needed services to its people. For that reason, it is essential for a society to be stabilized in order for a government to be successful.
