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 chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.

What is Machiavelli’s primary purpose in writing this passage?

A. to inform readers about the history of Rome and Sparta and how they built their empires
B. to inform readers about the fates of the cities conquered by the Spartans and the Romans
C. to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it
D. to persuade readers that a republic will remember freedom and someday rebel against a conqueror

Read the excerpts from "opening statements from John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon First Televised Debate."

Kennedy: I think we can do better. I don't want the talents of any American to go to waste. I know that there are those who want to turn everything over to the government. I don't at all. I want the individuals to meet their responsibilities. And I want the states to meet their responsibilities. But I think there is also a national responsibility. The argument has been used against every piece of social legislation in the last twenty-five years.

Nixon: I will concede that in all the areas to which I have referred Senator Kennedy would have the federal government spend more than I would have it spend. I costed out the cost of the Democratic platform. It runs a minimum of thirteen and two-tenths billions of dollars a year more than we are presently spending to a maximum of eighteen billion dollars a year more than we're presently spending.

On what point do Kennedy and Nixon disagree?


Kennedy wants the federal government to spend more and take a more active role in solving problems than Nixon does.


Kennedy thinks state and local governments should solve the nation's problems, while Nixon thinks only the federal government can do so.


Kennedy believes only money will fix the nation's problems; Nixon thinks only hard work will do so.


Kennedy does not want to turn all of the nation's problems over to the government, while Nixon does.
