Answer:

A cruel leader will prevent subjects from living in a place of crime and violence.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Niccolò Machiavelli tried to convey to readers that a good leader should act swiftly on any deterrent without him nursing the fear of reproâch or rebellion from his followers.

Thereby letting other followers know that such action will not be tolerated. In turn, the leader is setting a standard and ensuring that other followers desist from committing similar offenses, saving more lives, and preventing subjects from living in a place of crime and violence.

How would one take advantage in having power?​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

One can take advantage of a power if they are selfish

Explanation:

If you are asking how someone can abuse a power in real life, an example would be someone who is famous and using their power as a celebrity to make people hate someone, which is selfish.

In fiction, A super hero can use their powers to make people give them things so they won't get hurt which is another example of selfishness.

If you are talking someone using their power positively, then one can take advantage of their powers by helping others.
