Please write on ALTERNATE LINES. QUESTION 1 In this passage, Cicero illustrates how, in politics, the purpose does not justify the means. He supports his argument with an example from Greek history: Themistocles's plan to destroy the Spartan fleet was rejected by the Athenians, as it was not the honourable thing to do. Themistocles, post victoriam contra Persos, dixit in contione se habere consilium ad rem publicam servandam; postulavit, ut aliquem populus daret quocum communicaret; datus est Aristides. huic ille dixit classem Lacedaemoniorum, quae subducta esset ad Gytheum, clam incendi posse, quo facto, frangi Lacedaemoniorum opes posset. quod Aristides cum audivisset, in contionem venit dixitque perutile esse consilium, quod Themistocles adferret, sed minime honestum. itaque Athenienses, quod consilium honestum non esset, id ne utile quidem putaverunt, totamque eam rem, quam ne audiverant quidem, auctore Aristide repudiaverunt.
