Machiavelli establishes in his book that an ideal political leader must have the following qualities to achieve his goals:

1) Being feared, as he says in the page 65 of The Prince. In the medieval era it was safer to be feared rather than to be loved, because fear was a stop for revolutionary ideas against the leader. But as Machiavelli adds in page 72, that fear should not turn into hate as that would be dangerous for the leader.

2) Being supported by the governed, because if the people doesn't support the leader, this one wouldn't be able to carry out his policies, as he needs the people to execute those.

3) Virtue, because with them it is easier to gain the people's support necessary to carry out the policies wanted by the leader, as it is described in point 2.

4) Using one own's arms, this is said in chapters 12 and 13. Machiavelli says that is better to use the own citizens in battle rather than hiring mercenaries, as the citizens would be willing to die for the cause, and would support the leader no matter what.

5) Intelligence, this is the most important of all the qualities. Without intelligence, the leader would not be able to achieve the other four qualities. This quality allows the prince to take the best decisions for him and his people.

The poor, the middle class, and the elite are three main categories of the rigid social classes of the southern United States in
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

In the South during the Antebellum period, the years between the late 1700s and the first half of the 1800s, what most differentiated the elite and the poor was the <u>land ownership (A)</u>.

Explanation:

The South during Antebellum was largely agricultural. Unlike northern states that were industrializing and creating many different jobs and specializations, the south focused its economic activities on agriculture.

Because of this land property was the main differentiation between classes, which means that this region was immensely unequal. Who had land formed the elite, and who hadn't was poor and had to work for the elite to survive.
