Correct answer: (D) Sabine — This remark about Machiavelli is made by George Sabine.
Explanation
★This remark about Machiavelli is made by George Sabine.
★Sabine argued that Machiavelli's thought was tied closely to the Italy of his own day.
★It reflected the divided, unstable city-states of Renaissance Italy.
★Sabine wrote the influential A History of Political Theory, published in 1937.
★His judgements on the great thinkers are widely quoted in textbooks.
★Dunning and Wayper are other historians of political thought, but not the source here.
★So the local and dated verdict on Machiavelli belongs to Sabine.
