PLEASE HELP ME!

J. Ann Tickner, International Relations Theorist, states "to begin his search for an objective, rational theory of international politics, which could impose order on a chaotic and conflictual world, Morgenthau constructs an abstraction which he calls political man, a beast completely lacking in moral restraints." Which of Morgentau's Six Principles of Political Realism was designed to "slay the beast"?
Political Realism

Moral Aspirations of a nation within the guidelines of moral law seeking truth over opinion

Objectives are shaped by the past but are obtained for the short and long term impact

Awareness of global tensions and not shying from uncomfortable dialogue

Morgenthau constructs an abstraction which he calls political man, a beast completely lacking in moral restraints. Political realism recognizes that humanity has differents aspects, which makes it different from any other theoretical approach of politics. A man needs all of his aspects, the moral the political, the economical ones, because they operate at different levels.
