Question

What is the meaning of the quote "The intelligent sovereign makes the law select men and makes no arbitrary promotion himself. He makes the law measure merits and makes no arbitrary regulation himself."

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

This statement defines the qualities of a good leader. A smart leader makes  laws to suit the needs of the citizens. He is selfless by promoting others and not himself. He puts his subjects first while taking decisions. Before taking any decision, he analyzes by weighing the benefits and demerits. He listens to the voice of the masses and takes appropriate measures to ensure that their needs are met. He is supportive and makes the right judgement.  He is in control but at the same time, he gives room for expression of opinions. He respects civil rights.

Answer 2

I'm not 100 percent sure on this, but I think it basically means "A smart leader makes the law promote others and not himself. He makes the law judge others, but does not add anything unnecessary in order to control others." I hope this helps.
