Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince
How does Machiavelli work to achieve his primary purpose
to convince readers that a prince must ruin a conquered
republic or live there? Select two options.
He lists the types of territories a prince might conquer
O He describes the role of a ruling family in a principality
But when cities or countries are accustomed to live under a
prince, and his family is exterminated, they, being on the
one hand accustomed to obey and on the other hand not
having the old prince, cannot agree in making one from
amongst themselves, and they do not know how to govern
themselves. For this reason they are very slow to take up
arms, and a prince can gain them to himself and secure
them much more easily. But in republics there is more
vitality, greater hatred, and more desire for vengeance,
which will never permit them to allow the memory of their
former liberty to rest: so that the safest way is to destroy
them or to reside there.
He explains the roots of rebellion in conquered republics
He identifies the characteristics of government in a
republic
He contrasts the characteristics of principalities and
republics
