How did Machiavelli’s idea of a good ruler differ from that of medieval philosophers?

History

The correct answer is: C. Medieval philosophers believed a ruler should base his actions on Christian principles; Machiavelli argued that a ruler should do whatever is necessary to secure and unite his state.

This is described by Machiavelli in his animal <u>imagery metaphor</u>, which says that "A ruler must be a fox and a lion. A Lion to induce fear and get things done and a fox to manipulate and be sly".

In addition, Machiavelli said that a ruler should appear compassionate, honest and religious, even if he is not those things and try to do what is right. But, if he can not, he must put his morals aside and do what needs to be done.

Machiavelli's signature quote was <u>"It is better to be feared than loved".</u>

On the other hand, Medieval philosophers believed that a ruler should follow the right way, because a <u>good ruler is a living likeness of God</u>.

Option C is correct. As Christianity considered modesty as a virtue and decision-making based on imaginary ideals, Machiavelli believed that pride, ambition and glory suited best for leaders. It is better to be feared than to be loved. Machiavelli thought that a leader must consider political convenience and use every means, moral or not, to reach the ends.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options to answer this question. You also forgot to mention what time in US history you are referring to.

Without options, the are many possibilities to answer the question.

That is why we are going to answer based on our knowledge of the topic.

We are going to assume you are referring to the Pop culture of the 1950s and 1960s.

American’s were obsessed with two types of entertainment during this time which was television and rock and roll music..

During those decades, the American people, especially the young Americans were fascinated with rock and roll music brought to the massive scene by African American musicians such as Little Richard, and Chuck Berry, and Mexican-American Richie Valens, or Texan Buddy Holly, and many more.

Television was the other form of entertainment that caught the total attention of the American people. We could say that in those years, television was a key part of the American culture, and companies aimed their advertising efforts to TV commercials.
