I think it’s the first one.
Answer: The statement here is absolutely correct.
Explanation: In order to understand that why this answer is correct, I will provide you with a little insight of the history. The term vassal originated with the emergence of feudalism in the middle ages, at that time all the land was the possession of the ruling Aristocrat. The Aristocrat will reward their lands to vassals expecting that they will protect the Aristocrat in return. Whenever, some vassal will fight for the Aristocrat, the Aristocrat will provide him with a land and expect him to protect the the Aristocrat for rest of his life.
This is a fitting motto for our nation, because the founding fathers had many different views on how the country should be operated and governed. The idea that they were able to reach someone of a general consensus is a testament to the nation's democratic values.
