job of preserving liberty than the
populace. p. 61. Do you agree or disagree? What are some examples of elites
preserving liberty? How would you
categorize the United States?
2. Machiavelli describes a cycle from monarchy to popular rule. p.
57. Do you see any truth to this? Can you think of historical examples?
3. Which human aspirations are more dangerous to a republic,
defending a status that has already been acquired or defending a status that
has not been acquired?
