1.Machiavelli says: A man who is made a prince by the favour of the people must work to retain their friendship; and this is easy for him because the people ask only not to be oppressed.
2.So,according to Machiavelli, a prince, in order to stay in power, must know how to take good care of the people, particularly, the people who have constantly given their support to the prince.
3.In order to satisfy his people, a prince must first understand the needs of his people. Aristotle is of the view that the end of life is happiness; all our activities are directed at happiness. As good living is a source of happiness, a prince must bring good living to his people. Having good children are also important to the people; therefore the prince must not neglect the welfare of the children of the people.
4.The people would not be asking for things that their prince could not give to them. They would listen to their prince because they know that whatever is being done by their prince is done for the good of the people.
5.Only a virtuous prince could live happily with his people.
