Which of the following describes the main focus of The Prince? A. It attacks the corruption of the Church. B. It promotes political power based on Christian principles. C. It offers advice on acquiring and maintaining political power. D. It condemns the power of the Medici family.

Sagot :

The correct answer is C) It offers advice on acquiring and maintaining political power. 
Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" has often been regarded as a violent text, because it teaches the reader ways to gain power through non-pacific measures. However, this can be attributed to the time period during which it was written. "The Prince" was supposedly dedicated to the Medici Family at the time, who was the prominent rulers in the city-state of Florence. The text started circling in the years after Machiavelli's death.

Yes, the correct answer among the posted choices would be option C.
