Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince,

But when cities or countries are accustomed to live under a

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.

Which option best states the main idea of the passage?

Former republics are more difficult to rule than
hereditary states, and they will rebel if they are not tightly controlled

The strategies for controlling hereditary states and
former republics are the same.

Hereditary states come with a history that must be
deeply understood if a new prince is to control them easily

Hereditary states never forget their former loyalties, so
they are hard to control.
