Answer the following question in a one-page paper:

Citing specific evidence from Machiavelli’s The Prince (not from the textbook), identify, and briefly explain, the qualities of the ideal political leader.

Before proceeding, you might wish to read the short notes and review the study questions on Machiavelli.

Your paper must follow this format:

• font size 10 or 12 only
• one-inch margins
• double-spaced
• page number citations for your quoted evidence
• not to exceed one (1) page
• name at the top left
• must have brief introduction and conclusion paragraphs (each not to exceed two sentences)
• You may consider submitting drafts of your assignment to your instructor for feedback before submitting the assignment for a grade. At times, you may be asked to rewrite your essay before it is graded. This is done for your own benefit and will result in an improved grade.
