Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince. And of all princes, it is impossible for the new prince to avoid the imputation

of cruelty, owing to new states being full of dangers. Hence Virgil, through the mouth of Dido, excuses the inhumanity of her reign owing to its being new, saying: "Res dura, et regni novitas me talia cogunt Moliri, et late fines custode tueri."(*) Nevertheless he ought to be slow to believe and to act, nor should he himself show fear, but proceed in a temperate manner with prudence and humanity, so that too much confidence may not make him incautious and too much distrust render him intolerable. . . . against my will, my fate A throne unsettled, and an infant state, Bid me defend my realms with all my pow'rs, And guard with these severities my shores. What reasoning does Machiavelli use in this passage? Machiavelli uses deductive reasoning by first introducing the conclusion that new rulers must be cruel and then supporting it with evidence. Machiavelli uses deductive reasoning by starting with statistical evidence and then concluding that rulers must be cruel.

The reasoning that Machiavelli uses in this passage is: Machiavelli uses deductive reasoning by first introducing the conclusion that new rulers must be cruel and then supporting it with evidence.

Deductive reasoning is a form of reasoning where broad generalizations are first made before specific observations are used to corroborate it.

In the passage, we see an example of deductive reasoning because a broad generalization about the cruelty of leaders was first made before examples were used to support it.
