So I have to write about one of the chapters from the book, The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli. So I chose to write about the first chapter of the book, "Of the Kinds of Principalities That Exist, and How They Can be Acquired." Machiavelli states that there are only two types of states, which are republican and principalities. He does not place much attention on the republic, but focuses mainly on the principalities.
He states that there are two ways to become head of the nation. The first, and the most common, is through heritage. It is passed down from one family member to the next. The other way he mentions to obtain control, is by chance or by skill.
I would have done a post on this... But I was and still am pretty darn confused by it. But oh well, I'm glad you understood some of it. Good Job Sam!
