Read the passage from chapter 8 of The Prince. Agathocles, the Sicilian, became King of Syracuse not only from a private but fro

m a low and abject position. This man, the son of a potter, through all the changes in his fortunes always led an infamous life. Nevertheless, he accompanied his infamies with so much ability of mind and body that, having devoted himself to the military profession, he rose through its ranks to be Praetor of Syracuse. Being established in that position, and having deliberately resolved to make himself prince and to seize by violence, without obligation to others, that which had been conceded to him by assent, he came to an understanding for this purpose with Amilcar, the Carthaginian, who, with his army, was fighting in Sicily. One morning he assembled the people and the senate of Syracuse, as if he had to discuss with them things relating to the Republic, and at a given signal the soldiers killed all the senators and the richest of the people; these dead, he seized and held the princedom of that city without any civil commotion. . . . How does Machiavelli support his claim that rulers can be cruel if it benefits their subjects and is necessary for security? Machiavelli uses anecdotal evidence through historical examples to support his claim. Machiavelli uses empirical evidence about politics and society to support his claim. Machiavelli uses logical evidence through historical examples to support his claim. Machiavelli uses empirical and logical evidence to support his claim.

Answer:

Machiavelli uses logical evidence through historical examples to support his claim.

Explanation:

Anecdotal evidence is based on personal experience and empirical is based on scientific research, they do not apply to the text because the correct answer is logical evidence, <em>Machiavelli is supporting his claim on facts, historical examples that actually happened.</em>

Which isbthe most accurate critique of "The Tell-Tale Heart"?
navik [9.2K]

The engine of the story is the narrator's insistence, not on his innocence (which would be normal) but on his sanity. But this reveals a self-destructive drive, since it is pretending to demonstrate sanity through guilt in crime. His denial of madness is based, above all, on the systematic nature of his homicidal behavior, on his precision and on the rational explanation of an irrational behavior. This rationality, however, is undermined by its lack of motivation - "There was no reason. There was no passion. »-. However, the murderer claims that the idea was hovering day and night in his head. Thus, the final scene is nothing more than the result of the character's guilt. Like many other characters in traditional macabre literature, passions dictate their nature. And despite all his efforts, evidently, the pretense of having heard the heart beat at a distance, despite his acute sensitivity, is the evidence of madness and insanity. Readers of the time surely felt very interested in the subject of the allegation of transient madness that recreates the story.
