Explanation / Answer
A) According to the concept and thinking view of Machiavelli that he stated in his book that rulers should be keep faith is valid at that time when the people were not educated and live a simple human life. this stated that during the time of kingdom by the princes, it was quite embrassing that the prince should be ruled according to the princedom and due to which it gave the advantage to public people and they not be suffered and tortured by the effect of the rulers actions. but in todays time, if you take the case of political leaders than by their daily actions, policies and ruling method, you will easily understand the fact that they only want their profit in terms of ruling and vice versa also true. so it is not applied in the present time to keep faith.

B) First of all, i think that according to the present conditions and situation it is not possible to keep faith by the rulers. it is because in present time all the rulers are not self truth and they all are corrupted. infact we can take the present situation of the political leaders. at initial stage of election, they promise the innocent people that after election if he come in the ruling power, he will complete the every needs which a public expect and demand to their rulers. but after the elections, the things gone false. after election the rulers rules according to his policies in which he find or see just about his profits and fill the pocket with money. he ruled and make the system corrupted by involving the more people who are similar to that elected ruler. so for the present time i will not support the advice.

C) The time which the author stated is having too much differences than the present itme. in that time it is true that people were simple and easily decieved by the powerful rulers but in the present itme people are so much aware of what is right and what is wrong. in that time mostly people were illiterate and their mind can be easily diverted but when it is subjected to present time they are literarate and smart. due to which they can easily understand the thinking of rulers and hence they take action accordingly. so i agree with the author notion from the "prince".
