Nicholas talks about how the principalities are inherited and how they can be retain. He says that
typically a prince will be loved as long as it maintains the ways his predecessor used to keep the
people happy. He even mentions that if there is a foreign force triying to take away his rule, he can
regain it because the usurper may not satisfy the people’s needs.
I think this shows how the power should be held, by conducting old politics which worked to
his father or previous ruler. Probably for many years the princes ruled and the people were
supposedly happy with their rulers. How can this be understood from a standpoint nowadays?
I wonder about that because it all seems logical: if it worked before, then why shouldn’t it work
now then?
