What does this quote mean?"A ruler makes use of the majority and neglects the minority, and so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law."-Han Fei Tzu

Answer 1

The meaning of this quote is that a leader makes decisions based on the majority and that would affect most of the citizens rather than bend the law for just one person or group, he also adheres the laws and rules. He also agrees and listens to the majority which are more powerful and doesn’t listen to the minority who are less powerful.

Answer 2

that when one is in power you would only mind those of higher social status or those of wealth but would forget about the minoroty

A true leader, a true ruler must consider all of its people. He needs to hear the majority and the minority and not to be in favor of the majority just because they are more. To make the right decisions, he must hear, understand and be aware of the population in general, not only one fraction or segment. So he not only attends what the law says but he considers the moral value, the ethics aspect of the decisions he is about to make.
