Book brief summary
The PrinceThe state is divided into a republic. Machiavelli has three forms of coming to power: weapon, force or violence, luck or virtue. Machiavelli requires special attention to arms and virtues, it is noted that one complements the other. “Armed preachers are winning,” he writes. Machiavelli emphasizes that sometimes he must be like an animal, from which he distinguishes a fox and a lion. If the state discovers obvious defects or violates the "lifestyle" of the country that rules.

Of the virtues of Machiavelli, Aristotle follows a particularly marked generosity (liberality - consistency as the quality of a free man). This is followed by mercy, although it admits a special meaning, allowing cruelty to prevent disorderly. Also among the virtues of Machiavelli lists prudence and humanity. Virtue is like a reputation that avoids hatred and presidents for shameful acts.
