meaning
\as citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law - givers and the law - abiding, the beginning and the end.\ - adlai stevenson, u.s. presidential candidate

\the american ideal is not that we all agree with each other.... it is rather that..., at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one country, and one community, and that our well - being is inextricably bound up with the well - being of each and every one of our fellow citizens.\ - c. everett koop, u.s. surgeon general

\the worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it.\ - john stuart mills, political philosopher

Explanation:

• For the quotation "As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law - givers and the law - abiding, the beginning and the end."
• The key words are "rulers and the ruled", "law - givers and the law - abiding". It implies that citizens have a dual role. They can influence the government (like being law - givers, having the power to shape government) and also have to follow the laws (being the ruled, law - abiding). This matches the meaning "Citizens have the power to shape government as well as an obligation to follow the laws."
• For the quotation "The American ideal is not that we all agree with each other.... It is rather that..., at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one country, and one community, and that our well - being is inextricably bound up with the well - being of each and every one of our fellow citizens."
• The key idea is that citizens in a community (one people, one country, one community) rely on each other (well - being is bound up with fellow citizens), even if they don't always agree (not that we all agree). This matches the meaning "Citizens in a community rely on each other, even if they don't always agree."
• For the quotation "The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it."
• The key is that the state (country) gets its value from the individuals (citizens) who make it up. This matches the meaning "The value of a country comes from its citizens."
