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.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! :D What do you think of reality television and it effects on society? What would be a reality show that
BartSMP [9]
I think reality television is harming our communities because of their misleading views on society; thus, why many individuals become self conscious of their life altogether it is stable. Reality television puts out a false image of succession which in tern harms our self confidence and happiness in life. If I could be in any reality show I would be in my 600 pound life and, I would chose this because I would get to receive money, attention, and praise from others around me. Although I would become rich and famous my relationships with others would most likely be ruined. While I would never actually like to be in a reality television show, I would call it “The Teachings of Professional Procrastinators”, and the show would show viewers how to procrastinate on a daily basis ending with the best television shows to become distracted with.
