25. 2. An increase in trade led to a new, money economy
2. An increase in trade led to a new, money economy. It also helped craftspeople, merchants, and bankers become more important in society. 3. Factor: The Growth of Trade and Commerce Merchants and bankers grew wealthy and could afford to pay for new buildings and art to beautify their cities. Growing trade meant that more classical texts, art, and artifacts were passed along trade routes, sparking interest in classical culture.

26. 3. Factor: The Influence of Italian City-States
Their wealth encouraged a growth in art and learning. Rich families supported (called patrons) the creation of art, new buildings, and centers of learning, such as universities and hospitals.

27. 1. Italian city-states were powerful cities in Renaissance Italy that ruled the surrounding towns and countryside. They were independent and were often republics governed by elected councils. Sometimes, in reality, they were ruled by rich merchants, guilds, or powerful families like the Medici

28. 2. Because of their central Mediterranean location, Italian city-states became major
centers of trade and business.

29. Section 5
1. Renaissance humanists believed that people could shape their own lives and achieve great things.
2. Renaissance humanists studied classical art, architecture, government, history, poetry, and language.

30. 3. The Church taught that laws were made by God and required people to follow its teachings without question. It also emphasized life after death as opposed to life on Earth. Renaissance humanists believed that people should question everything, and tried to balance religious faith with an active interest in human existence.
Factor: The Growth of Humanism
4. People began to change their ideas about many things, such as government, social class, and religion. They tried to improve upon the art, architecture, and ideas of the classical period, which led to new discoveries, new ways of studying things, and new inventions in many areas of life.

31. Reasons for the spread of the Renaissance
War – As they traveled to Jerusalem, the crusades exposed Europeans to more advanced civilizations and cultures.
Trade – Northern Europe merchants after a while became successful enough to be able to afford education, fine housing, and material goods. They began to travel to Italy.

41. Renaissance Man

43. From this arises the question whether it is better to be loved or feared or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should be both: but since loved and fear can hardly exist together if we must choose between them it is far safer to be feared than loved
Feared or loved?

44. A prince should make himself feared in a way that if he does not gain love he at any rate avoids hatred
But don’t go overboard

45. The ends justify the means
Machiavelli says that it is acceptable to be immoral as long as stability and power are maintained. Christian morality should only be followed as long as it is the most prudent way to stay in power, and should be abandoned if it is not.
The ends justify the means

46. A prince, though he should not be hated, should use deception to rule his people. However, he must appear to be the opposite of devious, to win the goodwill of the people.
Goodwill VS Hatred
