"A ruler makes use of the majority and neglects the minority, and so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law."
1.) What is the meaning of this quote?
This quote philosophies the idea that a ruler of high regard will spend more time connecting and pleasing the majority rather than the minority. As because the majority (self explanatory) makes up the most of the population, it seems more logical to spend time catering to them. The statement "so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law" refers to the same idea, that by reacting to the mass, you are going in a direction that is logical.
2.) Who wrote this quote and what were they like?
The author of this quote is Han Fei, a Chinese philosopher who lived from 280 BC to 233 BC. He is often thought of as the greatest representative of Chinese legalism for his eponymous work the Han Feizi. in which he synthesized the methods of his predecessors to consolidate the core Legalist principles. He was a member of the ruling aristocracy.
3.) Which belief system does this quote belong to and why?
Legalism and moral law

It was supported by the labor movement and the UGT and CNT unions, which also pursued the social revolution. The Basque Nationalist Party had also opted for the republican side, when the republican courts were about to approve the Statute of Autonomy for the Basque Country.
Although it received hardly any external support from the allied powers of the Second World War, due to the International Non-Intervention Committee, the support of the USSR, which together with Mexico together with France and Poland at the beginning of the contest, stand out; they contributed large quantities of military equipment and advisors, notoriously also the support of what were called the International Brigades.
