Machiavelli: Views And Ideas On Government
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. According to Machiavelli, a successful and powerful government balances its strengths by offsetting differing interests, while always taking into account public good. Additionally, a president who is worth his salt makes exceptional use of the political climate, much like Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower did during their presidencies. Equally important as the removal of morality from politics was the elimination of religion, as well. This theory, which is still valiantly fought for today, became a basic tenet of democracy epitomized in the U.S. Constitution. Eighteenth century enlightenment philosopher Voltaire also criticized the coupling of church and state, saying it was not supported by any means of logic. It can be argued that solely because of Machiavelli's efforts that the church was encouraged to loosen its power over society. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Machiavelli’s Theory of the Ideal Leader and Its Application in Today’s World
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper on Machiavelli and his theory of the ideal leader. Niccolo Machiavelli was born in 1469 in Florence, Italy and was one of the more distinguished thinkers to come out of the Renaissance period and his work is still often used to describe political leaders to this day. Machiavelli was well versed in the political arena and he composed several philosophies in which he described what he considered to be the most effective ways in which to run a country. In describing leadership, Machiavelli referred more than once that a leader of a country is most powerful if he acts immorally, because if he were to act ethically, it would lead the leadership and the country open to enemies who “will destroy all possibility of an ethical world”.
