(Machiavelli‚ 51) An effective ruler would be one that relies upon fear without hatred‚ rather than love‚ as described by Niccolo Machiavelli in his book The Prince. In a perfect world all people would be good-hearted‚

This is mankind living in a condition absent of government or authority‚ where right and wrong do not apply. In the state of nature what matters is surviving in a world where vulnerability breeds fear‚ and everyone is a possible threat. “One doesn’t know for how long he/she
