You Decide: The Value of City-States:
Would this rebirth of arts and sciences have happened if Italy’s independent city- states had not existed?
Read Page 392-393.
Answer the three questions on page 393 in your notebook.
Niccolo Machiavelli:
His work outlined a number of key ‘leadership’ principles. It’s not possible, argued Machiavelli, to be both a truly effective leader and a kind one. For a leader to be successful in their ventures, he believed that it’s necessary to be ruthless when it comes to making tough decisions, as this usually means that someone or a group of people will have to suffer for the sake of the greater good. Other assertions he made include the following: Leaders should be feared rather than loved, “if you cannot be both”, in order to avoid a revolt Leaders should have the support of the people because it’s difficult to take action without their support Leaders should hold good virtues. Leaders should be intelligent. For Machiavelli, leaders were compelled to deal with the world as it is, rather than how they wished it could be, and this meant that to be naturally kind, considerate and generous could weaken a leader’s position and authority.
