    • The text discusses the role of individuals in improving societal issues and the structure of the state in Colombia.
    • People often complain about political figures not addressing societal problems but wonder who is responsible for making things better.
    • The state can be compared to a household where some individuals make decisions, set rules, and enforce them.
    • In a large society like Colombia with over 45 million people, there needs to be mechanisms for selecting those in power, organizing different powers, and ensuring honesty.
    • The executive branch, or government, makes decisions and manages funds.
    • The legislative branch sets laws and regulations.
    • The judicial branch enforces laws and makes judgments.
    • The state relies on citizens to provide resources (through taxes) for various development projects, infrastructure, security, health, and education.
    • If the individuals in power fail to do their jobs effectively, citizens play a role in the state by demanding information, sharing ideas, making complaints, and participating in various forms of civic engagement.
    • Colombia operates under a specific state structure to enable all citizens to live well.
    • Individuals cannot rely solely on voting and paying taxes to improve their community or country; understanding the state, its power branches, and mechanisms of citizen participation is essential.
