Machiavelli argues that being clement can help a prince to maintain stability and loyalty within his state. By showing mercy and compassion, a prince can earn the goodwill of his subjects and avoid creating resentment or fear that could lead to rebellion. It is ultimately more beneficial for a prince to be seen as fair and just rather than cruel and oppressive.
