Understanding this quote
The quote says that a new democracy cannot be stronger than the rule of law supporting it. If the rule of law is limited, weak, or underdeveloped, the democracy built on it will also be limited. “Dwarf” is a metaphor for something lacking the necessary size or strength, not a description of people.
