what is machiavelli's primary purpose in writing this
passage?
read this passage from chapter 5 of the prince.
there are, for example, the spartans and the romans.
the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there
an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in
order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled
them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece
as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its
laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were
compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in
truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by
ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city
accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may
expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always
the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a
rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever
cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide
against they never forget that name or their privileges
unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every
o to inform readers about the history of rome and sparta
and how they built their empires
to inform readers about the fates of the cities
conquered by the spartans and the romans
oto persuade readers that a conquering prince must
destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it
0 to persuade readers that a republic will remember
freedom and someday rebel against a conqueror

xoxo                       are u learning how to drive or sum?

if you want me to check your answer i agree with what you put. i read the story

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

you have to tell us what you're talking about or it's impossible to answer.
