Ad this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince, when cities or countries are accustomed to live
er a prince, and his family is exterminated, they,
ng on the one hand accustomed to obey and on the
er hand not having the old prince, cannot agree in
ing one from amongst themselves, and they do not
w how to govern themselves. For this reason they
ery slow to take up arms, and a prince can gain
to himself and secure them much more easily.
7 republics there is more vitality, greater hatred,
more desire for vengeance, which will never permit
to allow the memory of their former liberty to rest;
at the safest way is to destroy them or to reside
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.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
