    • 3 Pages

    Machiavelli wanted leaders to be both fearful but at the same time‚ he wants them to be loving and caring. They should keep a balance between these two traits to be a successful leader. Machiavelli says‚ “Here a question arises: whether it is better to be loved than feared‚ or the reverse. The answer is‚ of course‚ that it would be best to be both loved and feared. But since the two rarely come together‚ anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved. .

    feared than loved. This is the second quality that Machiavelli gives advise that will make a good ruler. Every prince would want to be considered merciful‚ though he should be careful not to mismanage this clemency of his. Machiavelli point out how Cesare Borgia was cruel‚ yet he was able to provide peace and order to the Romagna.

    questions of politics and human nature in a unique way‚ but there are definite similarities between his work and the work of earlier philosophers.

Both men agree that politics directly corresponds to the nature of man and that the
