The word commonwealth comes from the medieval term "common wealth" or "common wealth". In the Middle Ages, wealth did not refer to money, but to well-being. In what sense does the state care about the welfare or quality of life of its citizens?

"A commonwealth is a traditional English term for a political community founded for the common good. Historically, it has sometimes been synonymous with "republic". The noun "commonwealth", meaning "public welfare, general good or advantage", dates from the 15th century."
