sources to support his theories of how a good ruler should rule by laying out a good model. Petrarch emphasizes the first quality of a good leader should be friendly to the good citizens.

Shi Huangdi Shi Huangdi was a powerful Chinese ruler during the Qin dynasty. I feel that he was a bad ruler for a few reasons. He killed many people‚ burned history and literature books‚ and he sent his own son into exile. Although he did many things to benefit China‚ he ruled through fear and intimidation‚ sacrificing many of his people for his own personal goals.
