  2. Civil Principality: When a citizen is voted prince by his fellow citizens without using violence or wickedness.

  3. How To Obtain Civil Principality A citizen simply needs to gain the favor of the nobles or the people.

  4. What Do They Want? • The People: Don’t want to be oppressed/controlled or ruled by the nobles. • The Nobles: Want to oppress/control and rule the people and have power.

  5. Types Of Nobles • Good Nobles: These nobles bind themselves entirely to the princes fortune. • Bad Nobles: These nobles are selfish and will only benefit to their own fortune.

  6. Bound to Princes Fortune The nobles who help lead the prince to a successful reign should be honored and loved.

  7. Not Bound The nobles who did not bind themselves to the prince should be feared and guarded against as if they were enemies.

  8. “He who builds on the people, builds on mud” Machiavelli calls this a trite statement. • It’s true for a private citizen making a foundation. • It’s false for a prince who has all the qualifications and encourages the people.

  9. Overall Machiavelli is trying to point out that a prince should rely more on the people for his success as a prince. End
