What time in history when "all men were considered evil by nature and could not be trusted"?

besides the time period of Niccolo Machiavelli.


What was the name of the ruler? Hint: Emperor

What was the name of the political philosophy? Hint: Chinese

Which Western European form of government does this philosophy support:
a. Oligarchy
b. Democracy
c. Monarchy


Please help!

Have you taken the time to look up any of the words or people?
Do you know who Cesare Borgia was? Machiavelli thought Cesare was a cool guy.
It is one thing to be able to answer a question, and quite another to understand what the answer means.
Do you know the difference between a Democracy and a Monarchy?
Do you know what an Oligarchy is?
Some people say that the US is not really a democracy anymore, because there are only a few people who spend a lot of money to be elected to seats in the government. If you look up the words, you might understand better. That is what learning is all about.
How do you expect to be able to think for yourself if you do not know what the words really mean?
Good luck with your test/homework.
