Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince. Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed
lakkis [162]

The answer is:  

There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him—and the third way is easiest.

In the excerpt from "the Prince," the author Niccolo Machiavelli makes reference to the three possible ways of holding a new acquired state that is used to living in freedom and having their own laws. The first option is to destroy them, the second is to settle there, and the third is to create an oligarchy that charges taxes but that keeps the state peaceful. Machiavelli suggests the third option is he easiest because it makes use of the state's own citizens and the new oligarchy must owe its endurance to the prince.

How does the change or gap between generations complicate this relationship?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Emily is considered a fascinating, old celebrity by the community.  She is part of those wealthy families that used to be revered and respected because of the generations of wealth and status that they held. But with the abolition of slavery, and how the middle class gain respect in America, such reverence for those old families slowly disappeared, and Miss Emily was the only thing that was left. I think that the relationship was complicated in the sense that Emily always wanted to keep men with her. a clear example is her father that as he was the only person that was with her, she decided to keep the corpse no matter the consequences. The same occurs with Homer Barron she killed him and keep the corpse to feel she was not alone.
