Domenico disagrees with Matthias' premise. Administering a government is far more complex than managing a household. As a political regime consists of many households, many people must be responsible for managing the government.Brandolini 2009, pp. 181-183. Matthias responds by framing good governance as the domain or reason and mental fortitude rather than physical strength. He reminds Domenico that reason is more easily found in one ruler than many rulers.Brandolini 2009, p. 187.
