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.

Who would have most likely said these words? "I was in the army when people began to complain
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

d. A tyrant.

Explanation:

in general terms, a tyrant is presumably referred to a person who exerts full authority over other people, making sure that his orders and wishes are fulfilled. And power is gained or taken by force, which is the basis of someone being a tyrant.

But at the same time, tyranny is founded based on the want to change the present government and bring more reforms or change, improvement to the lives of the people. And at times, these tyrants are well liked by the people for their efforts to make a better change in the government. So, a tyrant is most likely to say the given words, leading the people to believe in his aim to be a leader of the poorer sections of the society, to help improve their condition.
