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.

zloy xaker [14]
You should provide a source when you add a quote from a text in which you found certain information that you included into your essay. That would be my best guess, you didnt provide any choices to pick from.
