Political Ideas of the Renaissance
Niccolò Machiavelli
The PrinceMachiavelli believed:
“One can make this generalization about men: they are ungrateful, fickle, liars, and deceivers, they shun danger and are greedy for profit”
Machiavelli observed city-state rulers of his day and produced guidelines for the acquisition and maintenance of power by absolute rule.
He felt that a ruler should be willing to do anything to maintain control without worrying about conscience.

• Better for a ruler to be feared than to be loved• Ruler should be quick and decisive in decision making
• Ruler keeps power by any means necessary• The end justifies the means
• Be good when possible, and evil when necessary

Christianity.
