Machiavelli discusses the relationship between cruelty, compassion, and the behavior of an effective prince. He returns to Cesare Borgia as an example of effective behavior. Cesare, states Machiavelli, ruled a prosperous and stable domain despite a reputation for cruelty.
An effective prince must try to gain a reputation for compassion but also be willing to be cruel when the stability of his domain calls for it. However, even when a situation requires cruelty, Machiavelli warns that the prince should not act too quickly. Even if a prince has a reputation for cruelty, Machiavelli claims that this will not lead to his downfall.
Whereas being cruel to the people is acceptable if it cannot be avoided, Machiavelli claims that being cruel as a military leader is indispensable. Being lenient toward soldiers can lead only to bad consequences, according to Machiavelli. To illustrate this, he gives the contrasting examples of the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal and the famous Roman general Scipio Africanus. Hannibal's troops endured great hardship under his command because they knew to disobey him meant death. In contrast, Scipio's armies disobeyed and mutinied because they knew that he was hesitant to punish them.

Answer: I would actually disagree on this
Explanation: In America there was a time period where conscientious objectors were ordered by the government to vote. However, their denial to vote brought them severe prison time, torture and opposition. If 16 year olds could vote then people with religious beliefs or who are conscientious objectors would be bullied by political peers and such pressure could obligate them to go against their conscious and norms. From ages 16 to 18 a person is too young to commit the right decisions without a person actually influencing them. A person is capable of thinking for themselves without outward influences when they are about 21 and up. Also, voting is not necessary, it’s simple tradition. It’s a superficial thing, people think they choose the president but in reality it’s the Supreme Court who makes that decision for you. You could fact check that if you attend a civics class or if you directly ask a representative from congress.
The correct answer to this is "Romanticism".
This is a period that began in Britain at the end of the 18th century and remained active until the half of the 19th century. Its ideas spread to America, France, Germany, Russia, and influenced many other countries, writers, and movements. An example of writers would be William Wordsworth, Percy Shelly, Goethe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and many many more.
