Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince. Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed

to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way. What is the most important idea the author wants readers to know? There are three means of holding a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom. The easiest way to hold a newly acquired state is to play on the citizens’ own interests. A government created by a prince knows that it is in its own interest to remain loyal to the prince. One way to hold a newly acquired state accustomed to freedom is to establish a friendly government.

Answer:

There are three means of holding a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom.

Explanation:

In Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince", he suggests ways for a prince or a ruler to effectively claim or rule over a land or state and have complete power/ control over it. This proposal to maintain political power is, according to him, the only way to effectively maintaining power over one's state.

Chapter 5 states three laws that will ensure the power retention of the ruler in three cases. These three circumstances are given in the passage in the question, of which the main idea of the whole thing being that of the three means of holding power in a newly acquired state. As this state may have been accustomed to having its own freedom for a long time, it is pertinent for the ruler to remember or know of ways to effectively exert his authority over the place while at the same time, not ruin or hurt the sentiment of the people.

Explanation:

<em>Nature </em>is a book written by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) published in 1836. The book has a form of an essay, where the author discusses the relationship between humans and nature. According to Emerson, a man should find a sense of his life in nature and the universe that surrounds him and forget about money and any material goods.

<em>Woman in the Nineteenth Century</em> is an essay book by Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1846), published in 1843. In this essay, Fuller explains a women's position in society and explains that they aren't less capable than men. She criticizes gender inequality and society for establishing gender hierarchies and restricting women's rights.

<em>Walden </em>(<em>Walden, or, Life in the Woods</em>) is a book that consists of 18 essays by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), published in 1854. Walden describes how simple and pleasant our lives could be, based on his life in nature, in the cabin he built at Walden Pond.

<em>Orphic Sayings </em>is a book of 100 aphorisms by Amos Bronson Alcott (1799 – 1888), published in the transcendental journal <em>Dial </em>between 1840 and 1842. These sayings show us the mystical and transcendental idealism of Bronson Alcott and reveal some of his thoughts about life, nature, faith, time, etc.
