What is Machiavelli's primary purpose in writing this
passage?
~But when cities or countries are accustomed to live
under a prince, and his family is exterminated, they,
being on the one hand accustomed to obey and on
the other hand not having the old prince, cannot
agree in making one from amongst themselves, and
they do not know how to govern themselves. For
this reason they are very slow to take up arms, and
a prince can gain them to himself and secure them
much more easily. But in republics there is more
vitality, greater hatred, and more desire for
vengeance, which will never permit them to allow
the memory of their former liberty to rest; so that the
safest way is to destroy them or to reside there.
