Document Summary

People must love the ruling family in-order for the state to work. People will trade an old ruling state for a new one for a chance at a better ruler. The new ruler cannot maintain stability with the people because he cannot give to all of their needs. The new ruler must quickly punish the rebels to keep stability. It is easier to keep stability in the new state if they both speak the same language and same culture. He must maintain the same laws and tax people will live peacefully as long as their old way of life is undisturbed. The new ruler must take up residence in the new state in-order to win their trust by living there the prince can address problems more quickly and efficiently. Making colonies in the new state is also another way of keeping peace it is also cheaper than having a military fort.
