“….Here the question arises: whether it is better to be loved than feared or feared than loved. The answer is that it would be desirable to be both but, since that is difficult; it is much safer to be feared than to be loved, if one must choose. For on men - in general - this observation may be made: they are ungrateful, fickle, and deceitful, eager to avoid dangers and avid for gain and while you are useful to them they are all with you, offering you their blood, their property, their lives, and their sons so long as danger is remote, as we noted above, but when it approaches they turn on you. Any prince, trusting only in their words and having no other preparations made, will fall to his ruin.”
3. In your own words - summarize what is being said in the text above.
4. Elaborate on the reason Machiavelli would rather be feared than loved. Why does he say it would be better for a Prince to be feared than loved by his people? Explain.
