Using Machiavelli’s principles the United States can evaluate its modern issues. In The Prince by Machiavelli‚ one is exposed to a way of thinking that encompasses both olden and modern societies. Although Machiavelli could not predict the future‚ his instructions for leaders and countries still hold true today.

According to Niccolo Machiavelli‚ in his first chapter of “The Prince‚” princedoms‚ states can be either republics or princedoms and these last ones can be either acquired new which I suppose by conquest or power‚ or they could be inherited by a prince’s ancestors.

What hit home was the story of pregnant
