In the passage, Machiavelli describes how a Prince should lead his people and what makes a great leader in his eyes. According to the excerpt, he states that a great leader is a person who is feared not loved and also not hated. Back then, men who feared their leaders were the men that did the most for him. They go to battles for him or give blood to him if he needed it. Also a great leader respects a man's property. For example, by not taking his land or the land that was owned by his late father. Also a leader shouldn't take a man's wife. All of these examples will led to hatred to their leader among the people because no one likes when a leader is dominant and takes the citizens' possessions.
