Answer:

Medieval philosophers believed a ruler should be most concerned with taking over other countries; Machiavelli argued that a ruler should only worry about his own country. ... Medieval philosophers believed a ruler should be ruthless and fearless; Machiavelli believed leaders should be compassionate and kind above all else.
