Abstract
I will be going over the infamous philosopher named Niccolo Machiavelli. He wrote two books that were eventually published after his death. I will be going over Machiavelli‘s thoughts in his book titled The Prince that he wrote in 1513, and was published in 1532–five years after his death. This book is about gaining and maintaining political power as a ruler. If you are unfamiliar, Machiavelli was around during the time of the renaissance in 16th century Italy. In simpler terms, he was known as an Italian Renaissance political philosopher, not to mention a statesman for the secretary of the Florentine republic.
