Machiavelli has a certain philosophy that I personally don’t agree with. He believes that "the end justifies the means." In other words‚ as long as you reach your goal‚ everything that you did to get there is justified. It isn’t right to not care about how many people you torture‚ or how many homes you destroy‚ as long as you get people to bow down to you and call you king. This philosophy of Machiavelli’s can end up with catastrophic consequences. For example‚ if you want to be promoted‚ and you

While the advice was more applicable in the Renaissance‚ when most rulers governed with absolute power‚ either in their city state or their country‚ it does not apply well to today‚ when institutions such as parliaments and congresses exist to check the power

Qualities of the Lawyer Machiavelli’s essay‚ "The qualities of the prince‚" is mostly put under the category as virtuous; though his points may be harsh they make very good sense. This connects to the question of whether a leader should be armed. Machiavelli says a leader should be armed or else faces the possibility that someone will take over the government.
