Chief Joseph was a leader of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce, of the interior Pacific Northwest region of the U. S. in the later half of the 18th century. The following quote is attributed to him:

“I know that my race must change. We cannot hold our own with the white men as we are. We only ask an even chance to live as other men live. We ask to be recognized as men. We ask that the same law shall work alike on all men. If an Indian breaks the law, punish him by the law. If a white man breaks the law, punish him also.”

In this quote, Chief Joseph is referring to the changes that the Europeans brought with them, and that the Aboriginal people were forced to adopt. Forced removal from their ancestral lands, the adoption of English language and European traditions, their loss of political power, and their reduced freedom are some of the changes that the tribes had to suffer through. In this quote, Chief Joseph says that the Indigenous people are unable to resist these changes or to fight against them. However, they still want equal rights and treatment in this new society they are forced to subscribe to, particularly under the law.

Machiavelli's claim to fame wasn't finding the lost work of Roman Consul and philosopher Marcus tullius to Syria true or false

Vaselesa [24]

True.

Machiavelli read much in Marcus Tullius Cicero's writings and was influenced by Cicero, but Machiavelli's claim to fame stems from his own writing. His brief work entitled, The Prince, is looked upon as perhaps the first text of political science (as opposed to political philosophy). The Prince described the workings of politics as Machiavelli observed how things happened in Renaissance Italy. Machiavelli also wrote in the political philosophy vein with his longer work called Discourses on Livy, which examined the values of a republic-style government.
