Which detail best supports the idea that princes who
do not destroy or occupy their principalities will not
keep them?
"The Spartans held Athens and Thebes,
establishing there an oligarchy."
"The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage,
and Numantia, dismantled them."
"They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held
it, making it free and permitting its laws."
"He who becomes master of a city accustomed to
freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be
destroyed by it."
