In The Prince, Machiavelli gives empirical examples of his ideas to demonstrate the logic behind them. In this case he does the same, although he warns the prince that it is better to be known for mercy than for cruelty, he the demonstrates that some cruelty is necessary for a monarch. This to keep under control those who would take the power if they saw any waeknesses. An excess of mercy will lead to a state in which no one will respect the ruler and everyone will try to take or do what they want. In such a state, murder, robbery and crime in general would be common. With some acts of violence, the prince will give an example of his power and will maintain everything under control, leading, eventually to less deaths than being completely merciful.
