Question 9 - Plagiarism Self Test

History

Source Material Used:

For the actions of a new prince are more narrowly observed than those of an hereditary one, and when they are seen to be able they gain more men and bind far tighter than blood; because men are attracted more by the present than by the past, and when they find the present good they enjoy it and seek no further; they will also make the utmost defense for a prince if he fails them not in other things.

Citation
